[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 306276, member: 1550"] Well, bummer :raspberry-tounge:. There's not a lot you can do if the Depakote and Seroquel is helping him other than realize he'll be sleepier than other kids who don't take medications. Honestly, in my over 50 years I've taken probably over twenty medications before this combo and a lot of them absolutely didn't even allow me to think straight. Like I said, Prozac was the worst. And my son was on a ton of BiPolar (BP) medications and on Risperdal and Zyprexa he slept 24/7. Since they also made him crabby and gave him tics the medications were removed and he went back to his usual hyper self. Maybe at school he can have a "walking" break if he gets tired there. And "jumping jack" breaks during homework time, which can get really tedious when you're tired. I used to have to do that on some medications. A walking/exercise break can clear your head. Sitting around when you've taken "sleepy" medications (at least for ME) always makes me fall asleep. Sometimes I could fight it if I was up and busy, but I sure didn't feel like getting active on some medications. I wish you and the little guy good luck! [/QUOTE]
