boychildsmom, depakote was the 1st drug they tried on me. yes it affected my vision along with my memory and caused shakiness,increased seizures and several other side effects that got worse with each dose increase. have been on 7 diff. meds since trying to find the right 1. so far either they haven't helped or couldn't handle side effects. started topimax yesterday hoping it will help.
