[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 240394, member: 2423"] My daughter always noticed her Depakote changes -- both increases and decreases -- the next day. And she always felt worse, even if the eventual change was for the better, until her body acclimated to the change (about a week). We have since learned that she is very sensitive to all medication changes, but your son could be, too. So from my very limited experience with my daughter, you could very well be seeing a reaction to the Depakote decrease yesterday. But I think you may need to give it a few more days to make certain the emotional reactivity is permanent. Your son may just need to get used to the lower dose of Depakote in his bloodstream. If you're at all uncertain, I recommend checking in with your psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
