[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 127439, member: 2423"] Depakote is an anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer. I have two children with mood disorders who took Depakote for many months. Although it helped stop anger, aggression and mood swings, over time high doses made them irritable and depressed. So we stopped Depakote and switched to Lamictal (another mood stabilizer) instead. Common side effects of Depakote include increased appetite and sedation. Rare side effects include liver toxicity and pancreatitis. Is the psychiatrist keeping Daytrana in place while adding Depakote? Has your difficult child's behavior worsened while taking Daytrana? What dose Depakote is he recommending? Is the psychiatrist convinced your difficult child has ADHD or is he suggesting another diagnosis entirely? What behaviors are you seeing that concern you? Sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help us point you in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
