The exact way they work on the body is unknown, but they are believed to increase GABA levels in the brain.
What are the withdrawal symptoms of Epival?
If the withdrawal is sudden, and the patient is epileptic and Epival is the only medication used to control the epilepsy, then seizures would certainly re-occur. If the patient is taking Epival for mania and no other mood stablizer is substituted, and the patient is also taking an anti-depressant, mood cycling may occur. If the withdrawal is gradual, no side-effects from it are to be expected, if a substitute medicine is used for the condition of the patient. In case the medication is no longer needed, therefore, the best way to remove Epival is gradually, although some persons have anyway reported symptoms such as tremor, headache, abdominal pain, and hair loss, even upon gradual withdrawal. But these symptoms are related more to Epival use, short-term and long-term.
