How long does it take for Valproic acid to start working?
Thu, 10/16/2014 - 18:22I was curious. I started taking it the 4th of October and go to another pill increase on Saturday for 2 weeks and by November I will be on the 250 mg. Can this make it take longer to get into my system because it is at such a slow pace. I have noticed a great decrease in my seizures. I am happy I suggested Valproic acid again. But because the full thing won't be in my system right away, can it take longer?
