[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 336178, member: 3444"] It must be horrible for him to feel so out of control. :( I'm not a doctor, and I don't even play one on the internet, but maybe Depakote is not the right MS for him? If it's determined that depression is the reason for his explosive anger, something like Lamictal might be better since it has a reputation for treating the depressive end of mood disorders better than a lot of other MS. I know that my husband, (who is still has no official diagnosis since he's never asked about it) who was very explosive in his anger, became a different person when he started Lamictal for seizures. He is like night and day in his ability to remain calm and even-tempered, even when he does get upset. He is also on Paxil (long story why) and the combo of the two really, really has helped him. I guess what I want you take from all this is that you should probably question the medications he's on since they're clearly not working the way they should. He's either not at the right dosage or they're just not the right medications for him period. His doctors will hopefully be asking those same questions! [/QUOTE]
