[QUOTE="Got2Sleep, post: 49754, member: 3587"] Well, nothing new with Bradon, meaning medications are once again out of whack. He is taking 750mg Depakote BID...he is 6..weighs in at 41lbs. Well, the last 2 weeks have been heck! to put it mildly, and we had a blood draw done Friday to check Depakote levels. Depakote level was 30! 30! They want it above 100 for BiPolar (BP) symptoms and his is 30! Also, his liver enzymes were elevated. UGH!! We are between docs...actually have a tele-health appointment tomorrow with an old one who is coming back to the team, then see her on June 11th(yes, again we are drivng 6 hrs, but staying in state!) so...I really didnt know where to turn. I went ahead and faxed to this doctor and she emailed me back that yes, his liver numbers are high, but still within limits for both the Depakote and Seroquel, so she wants to increase his Depakote and have a re-draw in 5 days. So, now we are up to 750mg am, 250mg noon, and 1000mg pm. 2000mg total a day! I am in denial, shock, disbelief...I dont know. I keep telling myself that I have to trust someone. She gets paid the big bucks for a reason...I can only do what I can do...and we know something has to give. So, for now..we are going to up the doses and have the re-draw then make a decision on what to do from there. UGH!!!! [/QUOTE]
