weaning depakote

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

Thanks so much for all the info. For the first time since all this

started I don't feel so helpless. We are going to continue to wean

the depakote. I think we will wait a couple of weeks before another

reduction. Hannah had 3 seizures last night but they were all under

30 seconds. Yesterday she was very tired and irritable not sure if

that is from the wean. When you all talk about lowering the ratio

where do you start? Hannah is on a 4:1 right now and I am wondering

if a lower ratio would help her.Her ketones tend to be very dark on

the stick except after a mistake with the diet.

Thanks Fran (mom to Hannah 3yrs ketokid since 4/02 and 2yrs)

We also have just started weaning the depakote, and I was very dicouraged after

the first few days, BUT it has made me feel so much better being here and

getting the support from everyone.

This week we are cutting a second depakote pill, this one from the night meds.

Thanks

Janine and JC

Do you plan your own meals with the mealplanner? If so... it's really easy. If

not, I highly recommend downloading it (you'll need Excel to run it). What most

of us do is to lower by .2 at a time..... so from 4:1 you'd go to 3.8:1 and stay

there for a week or two and just watch her to see the response.
