I have been on depakote for last 6 years.
It has done a great job in controlling my
seizures. But ever since I have started
taking it I have very unsteady hands while
doing precise operations. This could be
something as simple as writing, serving,
eating with a fork, handling a light
drill. I was wondering if anyone else on
this forum has experienced anything like
this or is it just me. Thanks.

I have had e for 12 year and have been on
depakote for 7 years. You are right that
depakote does produce unsteady hands. I
take 1000 mg 2x a day and I get these too
from time to time. The doctors always
look for tremors when they do a neuro exam
on me. I am also 2 years away from
becoming an md so I know this from a
medical perspective too.
Unrelated to this topic but relevant to
this condition....Would you take some out
to visit the seizures and astrology forum
and provide all the info includeing birth
city, time of birth and dob? Thank
you.

In a way relieved to know that this is a
side effect. Have you ever thought of
means to get rid of this by countering it
with other drugs or any other holistic
means? It is amazing that you are going
to be a doc despite this problem. Hope
you go on to become a neuro.
