Do you believe that John Travolta gave his child Depakote?
I believe his doctor when his doctor said the child took Depakote and then his neurologists in consult with the parents determined it was no longer working and they took him off of that drug. In addition, many times when someone is being taken off a drug they cannot start another drug until this drug is out of their system. People who take Depakote have to have their levels very carefully monitored, BTW., with frequent blood work.

This is not fairyland and I dont “believe” anything about this case. VPA levels can be ascertained. But if the parents thought it was a poor medication for their child, for whatever reason, I dont have a problem with them discontinuing it.
VPA can be a very nasty and sometime useless drug for some people.
