[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 193420, member: 1550"] My daughter took Depakote and had the same complaints. She was a teen and able to express herself well and basically said "I'm quitting this, because I can't think. It makes me stupid. I forget things. I can't do my work in school." And she quit. She also got the shakes and ovarian cysts from Depakote. Ovarian cysts are a risk for girls on Depakote. I would be looking at that, although Lithium can also cause cognitive dulling--I believe Depakote is worse. Both of my kids who were on medications are both no longer on them. My oldest is 24 and hates medications. My younger one doesn't need them, he was misdiagnosed. I'm glad--they caused so many side effects and problems, but some kids need them. STill, I think many psychiatrists overmedicate. JMO [/QUOTE]
