Divalproex sodium performs its action by increasing the levels of a brain neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA means that its presence makes it harder for nerve cells (neurons) in the brain to become activated (fire). It is believed that increasing GABA's inhibitory action on brain neurons accounts for the ability of divalproex sodium to decrease seizures, curb manic behaviors, and decrease the frequency of migraine headaches and pain.
