chips,
Epival, is only sold in Canada & Mexico. So my first guess is that you're in Canada. But here's the good part. This medication is one of the brand names for the generic medication of Valproate. In the US, the brand name for it is Depakote.
More about it is at the start of this website www.epilepsy.com/medications/b_depakote_intro.html.
As for price-wise, I found one website with a price of $133.00 for 100 tablets 500mgs.
Hope this helps.
