My doctor wants to switch me from Gabitril to Depakote, I would like to hear from anyone who is on it or has taken it before, and what you think about it. I also would like to know, as I am having terrible joint pains, is it safe to combine Depakote and Voltaren?
Depakote is drug with the active ingredient valproic acid or valproate. Valproic acid can reduce platelets number or inhibit the ability of platelets to form a blood clot. In that sense, it may exaggerate the effects of other medications that inhibit the stickiness of platelets or inhibit other steps in the clotting of blood such as Voltaren.
