[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 65309, member: 3444"] difficult child 2 is doing pretty well these days at 750mg Depakote ER, however, he still has issues with attention and hyperactivity... it's not so bad for the demands of his summer schedule, but when school starts it's going to cause problems for him. psychiatrist said we could reintroduce the Daytrana at 20mg, but I opted for 10mg instead because of how sensitive he's become to the stims. At 10mg, I see him getting agitated and irritable sometimes, although it does give him the ability to actually sit and read for a while, which he could not do otherwise. We go back to the psychiatrist at the end of the month, and I'd like to know what some of the options are for addressing the attention/hyperactivity component while he's on Depakote. What's worked for others out there? Thanks [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
