[QUOTE="oceans, post: 28965, member: 2687"] I don't have experience with Depakote, but there are other mood stabilizers that don't cause weight gain. There is Lamictal and Tegretol. My nephew is on Tegretol and has lost weight. All you can do is to try one of the mood stabilizers and if you need to you can switch to another one. It is important that your difficult child becomes stable. I would consider an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for major medication adjustments. The structure would be wonderful and combined with the right medications, he might be able to return home stable and with new coping skills. Going in the direction of stability is better than the place you are at right now...even if you start the mood stabilizer and keep him at home it will be better than refusing to try a mood stabiliZer.
