Yes! I suffer from severe memory loss. I have forgotten almost everything from my whole life, including my son's childhood. I can watch a movie, and then forget it after about a week, and enjoy watching it all over again lilke it was new. Ha! It's really not funny. I just haver to learn to live with it. Also, I have absence seizures. The Depacote helps, but not 100%.

I recently went off Depakote due to the cost and lack of insurance. However, even though it helped me a great deal, I suffered light headedness, severe confusion, frustration and forgetfulness terribly while I was on it among other symptoms and many different types of mood swings.
