Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Side effects of sodium valproate include:
-loss of control of body movements
-loss of appetite
-dizziness
-weakness
-nervousness
-tremor
-vision problems.
I think it is likely that the valproate is the cause of her symptoms, but it is better to discuss this with her prescribing physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
