weaning off med/companion for 20 year old

Mon, 07/13/2015 - 19:14

At his next appt, we will be discussing weaning my 20-year-old son off Depakote. He has been on it, seizure free, for two years. Any suggestions how to find a watchful companion to fill the hours I am at work? I can't picture how this will look. How long does this period last? I hate to think of seizures returning. thank you.
