[QUOTE="KateM, post: 12504, member: 1973"] Depakote was a wonderful medication for my son. It kept his irritability in check; he was much less belligerent on this. He did have some weight gain, but no other problems. He was on this medication for 5 years, getting blood tests (level, liver enzymes, etc) every 6 months. During one bld test, it was discovered his ammonia level was significantly elevated, so he had to go off this medication. We've tried many medications since then but none have been as effective as Depakote. But, as I'm sure you've found, the response to medications is very individualized, and your son may have a different experience. Smallworld's response had alot of good info. I also like the crazymed site Janet gave, but it can give info in a subjective, "in your face " way that some people find not to their liking. [/QUOTE]
