Thanks for your question. I am not entirely sure what you mean by "electrical shocks" running through the body, but - according to its drug information page - divalproex can sometimes cause tremors in the body. Whatever the case, you should talk to your doctor about these symptoms to figure out if they are from the medication or something else entirely. I hope this helps.
