[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 385748, member: 3444"] What does his psychiatrist say about his behavior? I am surprised to see him on the Depakote/Strattera combo. Whenever I see Depakote and there's no seizure disorder, it makes me think bipolar because that is what it's rx'd for so often. It's possible that he really has a mood disorder towards the depressive end of the spectrum. Maybe he would do better with something like Lamictal, which tends to help with depressive symptoms. But I'm not a doctor and I don't know your difficult child. I would call the psychiatrist and be a squeaky wheel until you get some answers. When I see anger and extreme irritability in people, I tend to think depression. [/QUOTE]
