Found this pill in my sons pack pack and I want to know what it is ## I haven't been able to find an exact listing for this, but the closest match I'm seeing is a white elliptical/oval shaped pill marked with 511 on one side and blank on the other (in black ink). There doesn't appear to be any yellow on either side, so I'm assuming that this probably isn't your pill. Hopefully this result can at least narrow down some of your options. Another person here on the site was looking for this same pill and was under the impression that it's probably something that's available over the counter. Have you tried asking your son where he got it from? ## I found this very big white pill while cleaning the garage. ( yeah a guy cleaning the garage) anyway it say: A 511 in ...

My son is advised to take these medications life long. He had no seizure for more than a year, but has had one this August. He complained of pain in his chest and he is fussy about food and looks generally weak and pale. Could these symptoms be side effects of the meds he is on?

I have been taking desval er 500 mg for the past one month. I would like to know if it affects the menstrual cycle? ## Most medications can cause irregularities in the menstrual cycle, according to the NIH, and it may also cause nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight gain. Has there been any change for you? Are you on any other medications?

Dicorate Er 500-one tablet was given by the Neuurologist to my son aged 12 years, after dinner. He has been very agressive and his EEG report says that "Interictal State of seizure disorder". MRI brain report is "The non-contrast MRI findings of brain are within normal limits". By taking one tablet he has been feeling sleepy, but the neurologist has now suggested to take two tablets in a day to get good result. Is it wise to give two tablets in a day to my son. Besides, one Pschyratist has advised to take one tablet Platin 10 Mg every day morning and Rosedin half tablet every day before going to bed. ## I am an alchoholic, and was admitted in a rehab, in the rehab they have been giving me Topirol 100 and Dicorate ER 500(2 tabs) daily for 4 months then , i was discharged,...

My wife is suffering from sever headache on and off... after tests and scans we found there is a lesion near her brain. a neuro surgeon said, it has to be removed through surgery. however a neuro physician said, head ache is not because of the lesion as it is harmless and has not shown any sign of sudden growth and headache could be due to mental stress and suggested dicorate er 250mg every day before going to bed... after the first two months of the tablet, she has started feeling head aches again... ## With 2 conflicting opinions, I'd suggest she seek another to try to get a definitive answer.

i m taking rex-xr last two years...when i stop to take this then the problm reappear...would i take it whole life ## Rex XR contains the active ingredient Divalproex Sodium, it's used to treat certain mental health disorders. And if you stop taking it abruptly, after being on it for so long, you can experience a rebound effect. This can include the return of the original problems you started taking it for and they can actually be worse than they were to begin with. To stop any medication like this, you should talk to your doctor so they can help you set up a proper tapering schedule to gradually stop the medication to avoid the worst of those effects. Learn more Rex XR details here. Are there any other questions or concerns?

can i use desval er 250 mg for life long AS IM SUFFERING FROM PAIN IN LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY AS I STOP USING THESE TABLETS ## Hi, Raju! I'm sorry to hear that. What are you taking them to treat? Is your doctor aware that you're taking them and you've tried to stop? These contain a time released formulation of Divalproex Sodium, it is used to treat various mental health issues. And since it works on brain chemicals, a sudden withdrawal of it could cause symptoms such as what you've experienced. These types of medications are usually slowly tapered to prevent the worst of the withdrawal/rebound effects. Learn more Desval ER details here.

I had an Rx filled and was supposedly 250 mg divalproex sodium ER. It is orange, oval shape, and number 512 one side, blank on other. I also have a white pill, oval shaped, with number 724 one side and W on other. I believe it to be the 500 mg version but need to verify. I transfer my Rx from pharmacy bottles to my own containers so they are a more convenient size for me. Dumb in retrospect. Can you help? Thanks, taxman ## Both of the tablets you've described are 250mg dosages. I wouldn't call you dumb, it's a very common mistake that a lot of people make and it's the reason sites like this exist. ;-) Is there anything else I can help with?

I've been taking this medicine known as Desval Er 250 mg for the past 3 months every night. Is it safe to get pregnant while taking this medicine? ## Deval ER contains the active ingredient Divalproex Sodium, also known as Valproate Semisodium. It is not safe to take while you are pregnant, but it does not prevent you from getting pregnant, so yes, you still need to use some form of contraception. You can still get pregnant while taking this and it can cause severe birth defect to the child. ## I have been taking Desval ER 500 for more than 2 years now. Since the last 3-4 months, I have noticed dizziness whenever I sit after a night's sleep or when I lie down from sitting position. Is this a side effect from this medication or is something else going on?
