> my dr insised that I get the brand name insted of the generic depakote. she said that the side effets were not as severe as with the generic, but i too have been plagued with constant heartburn since i have started taking it, maylox quick dissolve talbs are a god send, they acctually do disolve quickly and dont leave a bad taste, work fast too. the heart burn is so severe that that I almost think that i'm having a panic attack! even if i watch what I eat!

Hi, they also make a Depakote ER version which only comes in 500mg tablets. It delays the peak absorption by several hours and recommends taking only at bedtime (500-1000mg). I haven't tried it because I don't need 500mg on a regular basis.
