He's in a memory care facility. He can be agitated and screams that people are trying to hurt him. I found him on the floor of the common area pulling at his clothes and caregivers weren’t trying to get him up or calm him down. The Depakote makes him catatonic-like and he’s fallen out of his wheelchair twice.
ER detected UTI and he’s on antibiotics (Keflex). Anyone know of Depakote side effects?
However I do know that it can cause drowsiness and dizziness, so perhaps you may want to talk to his neurologist about what you're noticing to see if they can perhaps prescribe something else that won't make him so catatonic like, as it may not be mixing well with his other medications.
But with the Depakote being such a low dose, there may also be something else going on. Either way I would put a call in to his neurologist to discuss.
I hope you are able to find a solution for your situation. Wishing you all the best.
