Hello,
First of all, the prophylaxis of migraines should not be stopped and if you did not tolerate depakin, the doctor could withdraw it and replace it by another drug such as; Amitriptyline 25 mg, Propranolol 20 mg.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dr/Mustafa, Neurologist
