[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 142465, member: 1550"] Hi there. Depakote can cause cognitive dulling, therefore, even with a stimulant, it could actually be harder for her to learn. My daughter took Depakote when she was mistakenly diagnosed with bipolar. She was seventeen and refused to continue it, saying it "makes me stupid" "I can't think." This is something to consider as a possible reason for your child's fatigue, lack of motivation. My daughter was completely lethargic on it, at least mentally. Also, has your child seen a neuropsychologist? Has she ever been tested for learning disabilities? My youngest has some LDs and it IS harder for her to learn new things, even though she's bright. She has have extra help to get motivated sometimes. She's doing much better now, but she has had years of Learning Disability (LD) help, learning how to focus. She does not, however, have ADHD. Was your daughter exposed to drugs or alcohol while birthmother was pregnant? That can be problematic too. [/QUOTE]
