[QUOTE="Josie, post: 310270, member: 1792"] She is taking 1000 mg of Depakote. Her level is 48 per the ER. She is taking this to prevent raging and to hopefully help with the headache. She doesn't rage on this medication. She's been taking it since July. She takes 75 mg of Trazodone for sleep. Her psychiatrist said I could give up to 150 mg. Sometimes I give her 100 mg when she has trouble getting to sleep. Once she gets to sleep, she usually either sleeps all night or wakes up and gets back to sleep easily enough. She takes 2.5 mg of Lexapro for anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), depression. At the hospital, they gave her 50 mg of Elavil instead of the Lexapro and Trazodone. Her anxiety was back even when we got home. And she had a sense of being in a dream. We put her back on the Lexapro and Trazodone to see if that feeling was from the change in medications. She says she still has the dream feeling but her anxiety is under control. I think the Elavil might be a good idea because her headaches were controlled for a few years with 10 mg. I am just uncertain about the abrupt change. Her psychiatrist, who is also trying to control her headaches, rx'ed pindolol last week, but before I could start it, she ended up in the ER. Her old neurologist was worthless (told her to drink water and do yoga when she had been out of school for weeks). We do have a new one out of this hospital stay. [/QUOTE]
