Time reading symptoms and conditions

My son is on 3500 of depakote a day which I think is an unbelievable amount. It is said that it goes according to your weight (he has put on 50 lbs) & his dep.level always seems to come low so they kept raising it. He is on seroquel which we believe made him gain the weight & is eing weaned off that.
He is exhausted a good part of the time & reading other posts I see it is a tiring drug & that is a large amount.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I just wanted to post my opinion on Darvocet. I have been taking this medication for 8yrs. At first I would take one & feel fuzzy. After gradually building up a tolerance to it my doctor would up the medication & the only side effect that I get is having a hard time reading, things can get a bit blurry by trying to focus. I am now up to as many as 12 daily & function like normal. Everyone's body is different therefore it will effect everyone different. Personally if I did not have this medication I would not be able to go about my day likes many other's. You may feel tired/sleepy when you are first on it but that goes away. If you are on it & think it is not helping you, I would recommend taking it on an empty stomach & see if that helps. If you do get itchy from it, do not be overly concerned just take 1 benadryl with the Darvocet & in a short period of time you won't experience that symptom. Thanks for allowing me to post my note!
