Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
That could be a side effect of the medicine that you are taking. Unable to balance also known as ataxia is a known side effect of divalproex sodium. So I request you to consult your doctor for the same.
Continue to ask further queries if any.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Hi,
I suggest you make life style changes and adopt other methods to overcome depression, anxiety, stress, etc.
1. Meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, etc will help.
2. Go for a walk. Recreational exercises will be of use.
3. Play with kids. Listen to music.
4. Get busy with some work which suits you.
5. Try to help some body.... what ever small help you can........ at least once a day.
6. Pray God.
7. Look at the positive things in life.
For increasing the HDL do regular exercises rather than any other method that you are adopting.
Hope this helps.
