[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 86407, member: 3444"] After a medication wash in mid-June, my difficult child 2 started Depakote ER and then we re-introduced a stimulant in early August. We started with Daytrana patch and he did fine, but we're still tweaking the medications. No more obsessing, no more agitation or nuclear meltdowns, no more scary daredevil stunts, no more inappropriate antics. He's now on Focalin XR and it seems to hold him pretty good, but not sure we've got the Depakote sorted out yet -- he levels were too high at 1000mg, but now that he's back down to 750mg for the past week he's more anxious and prone to emotional outbursts. (He also started bedwetting out of the blue after being at 1000mg for two weeks and he was picking at his finger and toenails and skin -- weird) The stimulant gets him through the school day pretty well, but he still needs a short-acting booster in the afternoon for homework.
