Tripp started the increase of depakote 250mg added to his already 1000,mg twice daily....so NOW HE IS TAKING...1250mg of depakote twice daily.
He has started to tighten up his body when he turns his head...his whole body will tighten...his fist tighten this last for just a few seconds but his had MANY of these. We were eating out last night and he did it several times....I gave him an ativan and after about 30 mins they stopped.
He took his night dose of 1250mg of Depokate and 200mg of tegretol at about 9pm.
I was up late just watching him sleep...he had 10 at least of these I would say even more than 10. Sometimes he would rise up in bed...look around and go "whew" Whew"...then lie back.
I am used to his head turning but this tightening up his body is new to me....at least he has not fallen! BUT then again he was not standing when he had any.
How long before this depakote helps...he has tried all else....neuro is wanting to take him off Tegretol. He is down to 200mg twice daily.
