A friend had a bad experience the other night. After 1.5 caps he felt hot and nauseaus so he went to the can to puke. He was was sweating profusely and fell to the floor when his legs started twitching and jerking. After a second he was fine but really freaked out. Two more of us on the same caps and dose were fine. Could this have been caused by a reaction with Depakote (a seizure med) or just a weird x reaction. We had a few screwdrivers but were not drunk. He takes the med daily but hasn't had any seizures for years even when not taking the Depakote. Please post with any info.
 
i take depakote and have never had problems but that doesnt mean it wasnt the depakote
one time i had taken excedrin migraine with depakote and had such bad shakes i had to go to the hospital....what i learned was that depekote should never be mixed with asprin....had he taken any by chance?

thanks for the reply . I don't kknow about any asprin but I'll check. We were all dose'n
together and he was the only one who had these freaky shakes...we've been eatin caps from the same batch for a while and this was the only weird thing to happen. Thanks again...SMAN
