Depends on details: A person taking a prescription drug is doing that because his doctor found an illness or disorder that causes symptoms. Symptoms are likely decreased by the drug and/or the person's life is better while on the drug. We on a free public forum have no knowledge of such details, but in general, if the diagnosis and treatment are correct, then stopping treatment BEFORE cure may bring back symptoms.

Talk to prescriber: Depakote is a medication it is important to stop gradually, your prescriber is best positioned with knowledge of your history to answer that question. It is used for a number of symptoms besides seizures. Best Wishes
