My 13 year old daughter just switched to Depakote ER because she was getting so tired at the end of the day and sleep from the time she got home from school until the next morning (she has a terrible time getting up, too). Her p-doc thought this might help with the fatigue but she's having stomache pains , nausia and headaches since she switched last week. I put a call into her p-doc and am waiting to hear from him. She had stomache pain last year and I thought it might be from the Depakote then but gastro guy didn't think so even after tests. Gave her a med that relaxes the intestines. She's been on Depakote and Zyprexa for 4 years now with great results. She's had a few minor breakthrough agitated and manic episodes but were short and not too far from normal. She's going through puberty now so I have to sort normal mood swings and bipolar ones! She's a wonderful kid!!!:)
