I was taking Depakote for PCS headaches for 3 months. First the Neuro told me to double the dose overnight because I was not getting better fast enough for him. That made me feel awful and raised my blood pressure so I told him I was going back down. He disagreed with me but said go ahead. Now he wants me to stop taking it altogether and start Topamax next week. I asked him if stopping depakote cold turkey was safe and he said it was, but from what I can see on the net it's not a good idea. Any suggestions out there?
