[QUOTE="klmno, post: 209661, member: 3699"] Hang in there- I know it's a rough road, trust me, I really know. Too high of a dose of depakote made my son appear absolutely insane to me. It was reduced before we found out just how much it might have "cahnged" him. Still, he is on lithobid and depakote er daily now. I didn't realize it at the first trial stages, but little changes like going from a standard type of medication to an extended release and changing the daily dosage can make a world of difference. We are still tweaking my son's- trying to find a PRN add-on that he can tolerate and that actually helps instead of making symptoms worse. And, there is an issue that once he's symptommatic, how do I get him to try something else. Anyway, you are probably on the right track but just haven't found the best solution for your son yet. I hope psychiatrist gets back to you soon. It might be worth a phone call to stress that something needs to be done Now. [/QUOTE]
