[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 308347, member: 2423"] Depakote typically takes 6 to 8 weeks at a therapuetic level to work. A therapeutic level is measured by blood level. Did your psychiatrist order blood work after about 6 days of taking the medication? FWIW, Strattera can cause extreme anger and irritability as a side effect. Even with other medications on board to counteract the anger and irritability, it could be causing a problem. You might want to raise that possibility with the psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
