Abstract

The effects of valproate on cognition are usually considered to be minimal, but few formal neuropsychological studies are available. We studied the psychomotor performances of 20 seizure-free epileptics during fixed valproate monotherapy and after its withdrawal. Our findings suggest some adverse effects of valproate which appear to be completely reversible after withdrawal.
