Epilepsy and workout supplements
Thu, 05/14/2015 - 12:29Hi,
I started having seizures over 10 years ago. I am currently taking Depakote and they are controlled. I recently started working out regularly and was looking into taking an amino acid supplement during my workout but wanted to make sure it would be ok to take with the Depakote. I will be asking my physician but just wanted to post on here as well to see if there was anyone with personal experience who could shed some light on the situation. any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jackie
It is a good idea to find out

It is a good idea to find out if someone has tried this or that. But like you posted the person that will know is your neurologist and your regular doctor since they need to know everything you are taking so if yo uneed a RX they can prescribe one that will not counter the meds you take
