Dicorate Er 500 Side Effects

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.

@Malay Dewanji,

Based on my research, Dicorate Er 500 contains the active ingredient Divalproex sodium. Extreme drowsiness is listed as one of the serious side effects of this medication. Would you say your son started experiencing extreme drowsiness after taking this medication? If so, I personally don't suggest that you give him more since it could make matters worse.

It sounds like he may be having some negative reactions to the medication, so you may want to follow your psychiatrist's instructions and try the different medications.

I hope the info/advice is helpful!
