[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 56044, member: 3444"] difficult child 2 has been having increasing problems with stims -- requiring higher doses, getting less effectiveness, more emotional lability. So we did a wash and took him off everything (stims and atypical antipsychotic), and started Depakote and are titrating up. He still has impulse problems and anger problems, but in some respects, his attention is a tiny bit better and he is often more cooperative with me. Not sure why. I tried giving him 20mg short acting Focalin tonight (since he usually did great on 30mg with that medication and we were going to a very loud family party and hoped it would help him keep it together). It just made him anxious and quiet, so I don't think we'll be trying that again. I don't quite understand what's going on here either. Going for a second opinion next Friday at a university hospital and really hoping for some answers. [/QUOTE]
