A member asked:

How long do you have to be off of depakote to get pregnate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The time can vary depending on one's current Depakote level, type of Depakote (such as er) and if there is any liver impairment. To be on the conservative side, i would say 10 days or possibly sooner.
