[QUOTE="Shari, post: 310142, member: 1848"] Glad it went well. It is so much more reassuring to have someone "on the inside" that seems to get it. Wee difficult child's Depakote levels, while never "too high" by the numbers, were apparently too high for his tolerance. He spent from April 2008 to April 2009 on an increased dose that made him, well, the way he was for that entire year of hell. He's still a challenge, don't get me wrong, but I am now 90% certain the Depakote level was a big part of it. He was manic, he was mean, he was aggressive, he was over the top, he was hyper, he was unfocused, he was everywhere...dropped the Depakote back down....and now he's hyper and over the top and the rest just shows up occassionally. His psychiatrist said if the levels are too high, it can cause paradoxical effects. [/QUOTE]
