Today I started taking a medication called Divalproex. I don't know much about the medicine and looked online to only find basic stuff. Like risks and interactions with other meds. I was wondering if anyone has taken this med and how it worked for them. I know everyone is different but just wondering because I have never heard of the med.

The most annoying one being constipation. Unfortunately it gets really bad and makes me sick at times.
When I first started I was dizzy, nauseous, and uber sleepy about an hour after I took my morning dose and that lasted for a couple of hours from onset, regardless of whether I took it with food or not. This went on for the first couple of weeks, but is now under control.
Other than those I don't think I've experienced anything else.
I hope it works for you!
