Your decision: If you have worked with your doctor to establish a stable dosing that does not give you concerning side effects you should be ok if you miss doses. Make sure that you don't take extra doses to make up for the ones you missed.

A member asked:

I've been taking 500mg Depakote twice daily since 1995. Since March of 2022, whenever I take a dose, I have a mild petit mal seizure. I was off the Depakote from October 2021 to March 2022. Could I now be immune to Depakote?
