I've been sick with a flu time cold for 21 days today. i started a new med- depakote- i'm so tired, could this be the infection still or a side effec?

Too long: Fatigue and nausea can occur with depakote, so make sure you are taking your medicine correctly. A blood test can determine if your absorption of the drug and your blood levels are appropriate. See your health provider about your infection.

See below: Either a cold or flu should be better within 7-14 d. There is a possibility that you could have a sinus or lung infection-not uncommon complications. Depakote can make you tired as well & it's levels should be monitored. Please see your doc to see what's going on & to get you feeling better.
