[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 135773, member: 2423"] What exactly is the psychiatrist treating? I'm sure you know this, but patients with BiPolar (BP) need mood stabilizers and/or atypical antipsychotics. Antidepressants like Wellbutrin, without a mood stabilizer on board, can destabilize BPers. My own son has gotten manic on every AD he's ever tried (some even while taking mood stabilizers). About headaches: If your difficult child has an underlying migraine tendancy, he might have more headaches off of Depakote because Depakote treats migraines (in addition to being a seizure medication and MS). Furthermore, Wellbutrin works on Norepinephrine and can exacerbate headaches. I'd recommend a second opinion with a new psychiatrist. [/QUOTE]
