[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 127783, member: 2423"] Both his Lithium and Depakote level are on the low end of therapeutic. The Lithium therapeutic window is 0.8 to 1.2. Some kids do well on Depakote blood levels of 80 to 90, but others require 100 to 125 (and it takes 6 to 8 weeks at a therapeutic level to see full efficacy). FWIW, the medication that has been most helpful to my son who tends toward the depressive end of the mood disorder spectrum (but reacts horribly to antidepressants) has been Seroquel, hands down. But we needed to raise it to 800 mg (taken all at night) to see a true difference. What happened when your son took Lamictal? [/QUOTE]
