Please do not stop taking your Dicorate ER (divalproex sodium) suddenly, as stopping seizure medication abruptly can be dangerous for you. Dicorate ER does carry risks during pregnancy, so it is highly recommended to transition to a safer medication before conceiving. I gently encourage you to consult your neurologist and obstetrician as soon as possible. They will help you safely switch to a safer alternative to protect both you and your future baby.

Is it safe to continue taking Dicorate ER 500 mg for my seizures while I am planning to get pregnant, or do I need to stop this medication?
