However, what caught my eye Isabel, was this. How do I find more

information on this particular piece of it....about the a.m. seizures, etc?

Jake takes 2 depakotes at night....and wakes betw. 3:30/5a.m., or has a

seizure at that time. I've considered trying to decrease the evening

depakote, but am looking for more info first.

Let me know if you can help me find this....Thanks -

We were told when beginning the diet that valproate

interferes with the diet in some way. We weened our

grandaughter off of the Depakene over a 3 month

period. We've had control almost since the inception

of the diet. Hopefully this is helpful.
