[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 121058, member: 4362"] My son is on 750mg Depakote (500 mg at night, 250 in the morning), 40 mg Seroquel (at night only) and 40 mg Strattera (morning only). It took a couple of months and two hospitalizations to get his medications right. The Depakote and Seroquel combo has really stabilized his moods, and I have to say I am very happy overall. He still fies off the handle sometimes, but not on a daily basis as before, and not nearly as violent. He is still somewhat oppositional, but hopefully the behavioral therapy he gets at school and home will help. His last Depakote level was 85. Prior to the Seroquel he was on Zyprexa, and it was awful! The medication merry-go-round, is just that, and sometimes we have to figure out what works by trial and error. I just wish our difficult children did have to be lab rats! I think you need to stick with the Depakote for a little longer and see if it helps. My psychiatrist told me it would take 6 - 8 weeks to reach its full effect, and he was right. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
