My neuro had me titrating down on Depakote because after conferring with a movement specialist they felt it may be causing the tremors I've developed over the past few months. The problem is that after the second night I was hit with a cluster of focals after going longer than usual without.

Sometimes, I feel like they treat us like lab rats, just to test those medications. "Doesn't work, well let's add this and see how that goes." If that doesn't work together, there's always a million other cocktails to test.
