Hey Tiffany: I was on depakote, 1500mg, before my surgery. I now am on 2000mg. I have had no problem with the pills. I think you will be fine. Good luck, Judy

Hi there. I was taking 1500 mg Depakote before surgery. My surgeon rather shortsightedly took me off all my psychotropics. I nearly ended up back in the hospital after a week, but in a different ward. In the end, I took 1500 mg of sprinkles, usually used for children. This was difficult, but doable. After a month, I was allowed back on my regular meds, and am doing fine.
