[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 121952, member: 3444"] Joanne -- we are now at week three adding Lamictal to Depakote ER and difficult child 2 is up to 25mg per day, working up to 50mg per day by week 5. So far, he is doing great, with the exception of being jittery during the day -- psychiatrist tonight said I could back-off the Depakote by 250mg and is hoping that will help somewhat with the jitters, although, I suspect it's more to do with the stimulant. I gave him 15mg instead of his usual 20mg Daytrana today and it seemed a little better, and no worse the wear with his focus and homework. You must be giving your difficult child the chewable Lamictal tabs, right? I think those are the ones that come in the smaller dosages... hopefully this will be the right mix to stop her seizures :) My husband has been taking 50mg per day for simple partials since December, with the added benefit of better moods! The only negatives he's had are insomnia (wakes up 4 to 5 times per night) and for a while he's had bouts of sweating (just his head -- wierd, I know), but that part seems to be improving. [/QUOTE]
