[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 79792, member: 1498"] First off, five days on a low dose then immediately switching to a full dose is too quick...unless the dose isn't really a full dose. It is believed by some that kids with bipolar should go very slow on all medications. From what parents report, it isn't unusual to have a bit of a rough time when kids start both Trileptal and Depakote. Mood stabilzers are [i]not[/i] treatments for acute mood episodes but reduce the cycling in the long term. While some of the mood stablizer might help somewhat for acute moods -- Depakote helps with mania -- they shouldn't be thought of as quick fixes which work in a couple of days. [/QUOTE]
