[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 193572, member: 3184"] I would try lowering the depakote, and maybe go to an AP like smallmom said. My son does not take ap's, but husband does. He tried Geodon, which was great but he developed a side effect. That was a big time bummer, because it worked so well. Now he is on Abilify, which is almost as good. It was hard to get through the first 2 weeks, as husband I believe had Akanisethia (feeling like your driven to do things, if I have my terms right) but that did wear off and now he can sleep and function almost normally. husband is very sensitive to medications too, he is on 5mgs of Abilify. His biochemistry is super weird. It would be hard to be in school and have that cognitive dulling effect. But I would be leary about changing medications too. Will the school be understanding during this time period? I would not want to see him get in more trouble. That would be awful too. [/QUOTE]
