(MIRACLE DRUG) Epilim (sodium valproate) 500MG

Hi all,

I have been suffering from migraines since i was 16, i am now 29, theyt seemed to have got more frequent over the years. I would average approx 2 each month, i know people have it alot worse, but it was still having a significant bearing on my quality of life.

i decided enough was enough and went to the doctor to finally get it sorted. i had been taking naramig for when i felt a migraine coming on, the visual disturbance being the first symptom, on taking the naramig promptly the effects of the migraine are significantly reduced, however, i wanted a proactive medication and not a reactive medication.

So after a few goes on different preventative tablets none worked, so the doctor decided to prescribe Epilim (sodium valproate)VIEW IMAGE500mg twice a day, which have not been licensed for migraine use. So i wasn't to hopeful of them working as nothin seemed to prevent the migrianes.

Now, 8 months on and im still taking my Epilim (sodium valproate)VIEW IMAGE500mg twice a day and i have not had one migraine. To me this is a miracle and long may it last, i can now go about my daily life without the thoughts of when the next one will strike.

I hope you find this helpful.

I did have one migraine from the start but i was on just one 500mg tablet a day, so went back to the doctor and he upped it to two 500mg tablets a day, i take one in the morning and one at nite and since then i never ever had one, and no side effects at all, not like previous tablets i had taken which made me sleepy.

Its been 4 weeks now and I can't believe how taking sodium valproate its like someone has flicked the migraine switch off I can't believe it!
