Hi! I took meds for many years and, in my case, the side effects got worse as years went by. Having the most at the end of taking them. From drowsiness, little energy, blurred sight, tremors, and anxiety or agitation since the first couple of years. Then the drowsiness and little energy got worse, then dizziness appeared, the feeling of uncertainty an unknown feeling that would not let you do anything but stay resting, plus constantly peeing. Finally, depression, sadness, an echoing in the ears or inside my head came. And then the seizures returned. All due to valproic acid. Now I don't take it no more. And found more natural solutions and now I feel great, reborn. Let me know when we can chat. :)
