I have a 25 year-old son with severe agitated-depression who is currently hospitalized.
He has a heightened sensitivity to the SSRI's and Seroquel and has been detoxed for them. Last week ECTwas recommended but has been declined. Depakote has been
today given to him to control psychotic-like behavior (hitting himself, muscular contortions, pacing for hours on end).
Given the drugs history of liver and pancreatic toxicity, how long can the doctors use this drug for therapy. Has long-term use of Depakote been achieved???
Thank you for your reply.
