Could The Cardiac Arrest Be Due To The Increased Dosage?
My daughter was taking depakote and lamictal at the same time. She passed away 2 weeks ago from cardiac arrest and seizure. In the past 2 months her MD increased her dosage to 1000mg twice daily. Could that have possibly been the cause of the cardiac arrest?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, sorry for this, medicines may not be the reason for cardiac arrest but underlying cause would be cardiac disease, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
