[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 193458, member: 2423"] My son had a similar experience with cognitive dulling, but his psychiatrist blamed it on his large dose (800 mg) of Seroquel. Paradoxically, as we lowered the Seroquel to 400 mg, J's cognitive dulling worsened. We then realized it was the Zonegran that was causing the dulling. So . . . we increased Seroquel back up to 600 mg and then decreased Zonegran from 400 mg to 300 mg. His cognitive symptoms improved. Recently, in anticipation of the start of a new school, J's psychiatrist increased Seroquel back up to 800 mg. J is the best he's been in months. He's actually been doing his homework! This is all my long way of saying I think you should try lowering the Depakote. Maybe an AP could be used if hypomania occurs. [/QUOTE]
