[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 120986, member: 1680"] Jen, You read it correctly. He was very stable from April thru Nov. Things went extremely down hill in Dec. and still are very bad. While stable he was on 650mg seroquel and 600mg lithium and strattera. We pulled the strattera cause that may have made him unstable. He was not getting any more stable and was continuing to go downhill so the psychiatrist started him on depakote 2 weeks ago. Therapeutic blood level is 50-100. The last few weeks have been unbareable. I pulled him out of school and homeschooled him for 2weeks and am hoping to send him next week but I can't see that happening yet. I put a call into psychiatrist today and no response yet. Often he calls late at night (once at 11:00pm) so maybe he will call but it is Friday so I doubt it. Most importantly, I am wondering about people's experience with depakote. Do I need to wait? Does it sometimes get worse before it gets better? or can it just make things like impulsiveness, aggitation and hyperness worse? Thanks again, Bugsy's mom [/QUOTE]
