Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. There may be a difference between anti-depressants and anti-seizure medications in general, but depakote is also used to treat bi-polar disorder. I'd have concerns if my child had epilepsy and was prescribed this med, but I think I'd have to try it if other meds didn't work well.
For some reason, I thought the boy was on Dilantinn ot depakote. I could be wrong, but I’ve known 3 people with epilepsy and they were all taking Dilantin.
