[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 115649, member: 3444"] Thanks, smallworld. The psychiatrist did say that we'd probably end up reducing the Depakote level. So maybe he'll be able to go back down to 750 or 500 when he gets up to the 50mg on Lamictal. difficult child didn't seem to have any trouble dropping off to sleep last night, but then again, he was REALLY tired from the day before, and he only had one dose of Lamictal, so I don't know if this is too soon for it to affect him. Something else that got my attention is that difficult child wet the bed last night -- which he started to do out of the blue when we first got the Depakote to 1,000mg, but we were able to get it to stop after splitting the dose a little between am/pm. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I'm going to watch this and see what happens. Maybe he'll need to take the Lamictal in the morning... The effects of the Daytrana typically don't bother him by bedtime, because he takes the patch off several hours before going to sleep -- but I'll watch that, too. His dad started Lamictal for seizures a few weeks ago, and lo-and-behold! His mood is SO much better and he is FAR less reactive to life than he has EVER been. I don't know if husband recognizes this, but you can bet I'm going to insist he stay on it, or something like it, for a very, very long time [img]:wink:[/img] Thanks so much for your feedback!
