Divalproex DR is a common treatment for bipolar mania and generalized seizures.
Comparison to other medications:
• Lamotrigine: Used for bipolar disorder with depressive episodes rather than manic episodes; requires slow titration
• Lithium: Used for both manic and depressive episodes, but requires close kidney and parathyroid monitoring
• Topiramate: Used for migraine prevention and seizures but not typically used for mood stabilization
• Carbamazepine: Also treats seizures, neuropathic pain and bipolar disorder; potential for drug interactions and requires genetic testing in certain populations
Divalproex DR can be adjusted based on response and blood levels. It should be avoided in those with liver issues or pregnancy risk due to its serious side effects.
