This week on the podcast we are talking about Sodium Valproate, aka Epilim, its feature in the UK Government's "Cumberlege Review", and why it has been called a "public health scandal" by some.

You'll find it referred to mainly as Valproate in this podcast. I shall be talking with Dr. Jim Morrow, a former Neurologist from Ireland, with whom I did a live video interview a few weeks ago (check it out on my YouTube page if you haven't already!).

The night before last I had an epileptic seizure. It was the first focal-aware seizure that I’d had in a few months, and I was scared. Hey, the seizure could have been heaps worse, but I was scared that it would develop into a tonic-clonic seizure.
