[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 52975, member: 1550"] 47 is so below the therapeutic level that I wonder if the psychiatrist knows what he's doing. For seizures the depakote level needs to be at at least 80 FOR EIGHT WEEKS. For bipolar, it's supposed to be 100 or higher FOR EIGHT WEEKS. Are you seeing somebody else when he is discharged or will this be the doctor? Frankly, I'd want another opinion. Mood stabilizers HAVE to be at therapeutic levels for about two months before anyone can say they don't work. I would be leery of a psychiatrist that doesn't know this. [/QUOTE]
