Hey hon, I had a P-doc appointment today.
How did it go?
It was OK - he prescribed Depakote.
Depakote? Really?
Yeah - do you know anything about it?
Kyle was on it for a while. He didn't like it, but he doesn't like any meds.
Uh-oh. Listen to this: Transient hair loss. Trembling hands. Weight gain.
Oh no - you're reading the disclosure literature, aren't you?
Liver damage! Jaundice!
Put that away!
Check this out: It's associated with an increased incidence of tumors in rats. Tumors!
What?
Well, they say the doses were 5 to 10 times higher than usual doses...
Now stop that! Do you think if I had read that stuff I'd have ever taken birth control pills?
We have 5 kids - a lot of good it did you.
Now stop that. Would you have changed a single thing?
Will you still love me if I lose my hair? And turn yellow?
(And the discussion continues...)
