Yes, my 9yr old son takes depakote. His neurologist stated that
CVS is related the the Migrain family. He explained that basically
he has a checmical imbalance in the brain and doesnt send that little
signal to the rest of the body, and there for he has episodes. The
depakote is mainly used for people with seizures... However Doctors
are finding that Depakote works for people with CVS and migrains.
Since this medicine Our whole world has changed, FOR THE GOOD. Try
asking your doctor about it. Its been our miracle drug.
