Have been chronic since 95. Have had some success with these meds in the past.
Was taking Epilim/Sodium Valproate 200mg 3x daily which was a bit hit and miss.
Went into hospital for spinal fusion / came out and the Demon kicked the hell out of me.
Doc told me to up the Epilim dosage to 1000mg daily. This nearly killed me , the Demon has
never been that bad - ever !. So I chucked it in the drawer and forgot about it.
Tried again last month for some reason and went to get some more from a chemist friend of mine.
He told me to cut the dosage to 400mg daily but have the Enteric Coated tablets instead.
These are a more expensive version so Pharmacy's give you the less expensive ones over here and claim
for the others.
Anyway ( Sorry For Rambling ) have been taking them for about 30 days now and I am 26 days PF totally.
Maybe there is something in it who knows - but 26 days is the longest PF I have had in five years.
Hope this may help someone else also.
PF to all :-)
