[QUOTE="Dara, post: 176722, member: 3572"] He is on Depakote for the seizures. He had a 24 hr EEG done and the seizures happened when he was falling asleep and sleeping. They did not happen at any other point. He was video taped in the hospital with this test. We trialed an antidepressant on top of the seizure medications. The dr is saying he has 2 separate issues which I agree with. The antidepressants were used for the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) issues. He said that they work very well in children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). We gave it a try it didnt work so we moved on and decided to try ritalin. I dont think he was even taking 1 tspn. It was a very small dose and that caused problems so we stopped that and now are on only the seizure medications. We do another 24 hr EEG in December to see where we are at there. I was on Depakote for 16 years. The depakote does not have anything to do with the behaviors. His behaviors have not changed since before or after the depakote. They are the same he is just older. I have an appointment with a child Psychiatrist on august 5th and from what I understand, he does not give out medications so easily. Hopefully he will be able to come up with some behavioral plan that works for Sammy [/QUOTE]
