Cathie,
I haven't been on Depakote for years, but when I was on it and got switched
I had problems with it and the doctor got it switched back. I don't think
the generic works as well, especially if you start off on the brand name
stuff. I had the the same trouble with the Keppra a few months ago. The
doctor got it changed back after a month and a half. I started having
seizures in about a days time after the change. I hope your daughter doesn't
have any problems with it.Take care.
Tammy
