How long should i have discontinued my use of apo-divalproex before becoming pregnant?
Pregnancy: In the stomach, divalproex breaks down into a substance called valproate (also known as valproic acid), which has been linked to an increased risk of birth defects, including neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida). If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Around a month is the suggested time.
The medication is known as "Epilim!" in the UK..
It is also suggested that people may be helped by taking folic acid suppliments if planning pregnancy...
