What should I do if my medication, Dicorate ER 750mg, is not controlling my severe muscle jerks, which disrupt my daily life and are triggered by skipping meals, holding in my urine or bowel movements, missing my medication, and feeling afraid?
Since your current dose of Dicorate ER (divalproex sodium) 750mg is not fully controlling these episodes, please schedule an appointment with your doctor or neurologist soon. They can safely evaluate your dosage or discuss alternative treatments. Please do not alter your medication dose on your own. In the meantime, you can help manage these symptoms by avoiding triggers: try to eat regular meals, do not delay using the restroom, take your doses consistently, and use deep breathing to ease sudden fear.
