A member asked:

Taking divalproex sodium dr 250mg. i'm only taking it once a day only at night. is that okay? is that bad only taking it once a day instead of two?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Comments: You provide no clue as to why you are taking Divalproex sodium, but once daily in the non-ER form could well be insufficient to control your problem beyond half a day. Suggest Concierge visit to get this ironed out.
