Schedule for stopping depakote

When discontinuing Depakote (valproate), it's crucial to do so under a physician's guidance to minimize withdrawal symptoms and seizure risk. Typically, a gradual tapering schedule is recommended, often reducing the dose by 10-20% every few days, depending on the individual’s situation. The exact schedule may vary based on the dosage, duration of use, and the patient's response. Always consult a healthcare provider for a personalized tapering plan.
