[QUOTE="klmno, post: 128209, member: 3699"] Thanks, Susie! I had hoped to get him off lithobid for a few reasons- one being that I didn't realize it was still taking care of raging and insomnia and it's causing bad acne and weight gain. At least I think it is the lithobid- not the depakote. Also, there are is an issue with cognitive dulling. That could be the lithobid or depakote- I was hoping the lithobid because it seems other side effects are worse. And, I get worried because he can barely get to a therapuetic dose on each of these so what can we possibly do when he needs a higher dose? A higher dose of lithobid makes him constantly sick at his stomach and a higher dose of depakote makes him into a manic with mania beyond belief. So, when he starts to get hypomanic, I panic- he can't go up on these medications and I can't get him in a psychiatric hospital if he needed it, for other reasons. [/QUOTE]
