[QUOTE="Mandy, post: 308426, member: 6245"] It does take 6-8 weeks, with blood draws, to get the Depakote to a theraputic level. We are just now there after actually lowering Little Bear's dose after a draw because the level was too high. Word of caution... when Little Bear went totally off abilify and went to a mood stabilizer (happened to be Tegretol) we had horrible results. I do believe now this is because it takes so long for the mood stabalizers to kick in that it was like he was on nothing. So far putting the mood stabalizer with the antipsychotic has BY FAR been our best move in the last 9months of going through this. GOOD LUCK!!! [/QUOTE]
