Valproic acid (400–500 mg tid) is able to produce a dose-dependent improvement of AWS symptoms [6, 81], with a reduced incidence of seizures and a protection toward the worsening of AWS severity (anti-kindling effect). These characteristics make valproic acid an interesting and promising drug in the outpatient management of mild-to-moderate forms of AWS [82]. The […]
