[QUOTE="klmno, post: 153557, member: 3699"] Hi, Totoro! I'm glad to see you back! I just want to throw out something on the Depakote ER- my son is on it and it works great for him for hyperness and excessive talking (usually), but he is on a low dose with other medications. When he was titrating up on Depakote ER, he got to a certain, middle of the road dosage and after the third day, he was acting odd. His eyes were glassy and he was very calmly saying things that he never had said unless he was raging- I found this extremely frightening. The depakote was lowered back to the previous dosage and he's been on that since. He has had cognitive dulling this year, but who knows which medication effected that- or if it is just that the medication combo has never been great. Anyway- I just wanted to let you know that it's probably a slim chance, but this could happen and if it does, it doesn't mean that depakote has to be stopped completely. [/QUOTE]
