My new friend Depakote

In my constant battle against constant, debilitating headaches for two years now see, I have found another tool that helps relieve this pain, Depakote. I went to see my general doctor and told him of all the things I tried, and asked what else I could do. He recommended seeing a local neurologist tho get her opinion. Last week I got in too see her and told her my story. She says, " Most of the medications you take are to treat headaches, have you tried any medications to prevent headaches?" My jaw dropped. There are medications that PREVENT headaches? I picked up the Rx last week, been taking 1000mg/day for 5 days now and feel 85% better. Only side effect for me is dry mouth. Lets all hope this turns out to be a long term solution.

Next MRI is in December. No new or worsening symptoms so I am not concerned.
