Switching to generic Depakote
Fri, 12/14/2018 - 19:30Topic: Medication Issues
I have been taking 1,500 mg of Depakote ER for several years now and have been seizure free. However, my employer is having issues with my insurance, and at the moment, I am not covered. I only have one week left of my Depakote. My doctor prescribed generic Depakote ER. I am worried that after going so long with the name brand, a sudden switch to generic is going to bring back my issues. I used to have mychlonic (spelling?) jerks, and only had a few grand mals.
Has anyone else safely made the switch to generic depakote without any issues? Thanks.
