[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 294245, member: 7371"] Mandy, So sorry you're having a tough week. Has he has a blood test lately to test his depakote level? If it's at a therapeutic level and he's still behaving that way, he likely isn't bipolar. At least that was our experience. medications are just one piece of the puzzle, though. There's still a behavioral component apart from the medications. But for many difficult children (including mine), the medications give them a "biological pause" that enables them to think more clearly, and to learn and practice appropriate skills for handling conflict, frustration, etc. The trial-and-error thing can be really discouraging, but hang in there. Lots of us have been there done that! (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
