I can share with you that my aunt had a stroke, She lost her speech, swallowing, and right side strength. She got her speech
and swallowing back. She did have terrible agitation
and confusion a few times per week. They had to try two different medications. Risperidone on a very low dose. It did not quite work. Then Depakote. After 7 days on Depakote it affected her swallowing much worse than when she had her stroke. But she could have just has a stroke relapse.
