Some people may have an aura before their
migraines occur. An aura can be any unusual sign that a migraine is about to happen, including vision changes, numbness, tingling, or speech changes. Some people have
migraine triggers, which are certain foods, drinks, or situations that seem to lead to a migraine
(see Migraine Diet for more information).
Due to the way it works, this medicine will not help for
migraine treatment. Depakote is taken on a daily basis for
migraine prevention, to reduce the frequency or severity of migraine headaches.
