Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Nicola- For the first time in 2 yrs is only on one med right now and that is Depakote. As soon as she was weaned off of everything else she turned into a maniac. (in a good way) SHe is full of energy, somewhat hyperactive. This is good for us because we are so use to her being drugged up and a zombie. We are experiencing some insomnia. She rarely takes a nap any longer and doesn't have any desire to go to bed until about 11:30 at night. And that is after she puts up a long 2 hour fight. She is only 2 1/2 so thats is a little problem for us. No irriatability though. Keri sodium valproate/depakate Anyone having or had adverse with this drug?e.g hyperactivity, insomnia,irritability?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Nicola, Shan was on depakote/depakene for about 1 month. It caused her to have suicidal thoughts and she became a safety risk to herself and others. We always had to have someone with her holding her hand. We saw a neuro in Salt Lk. and he thought she had a very low attention span showing signs of hyperactivity. The worse thing was that she no longer had a conscience.
