How is his blood sugar? Does he get bad breath that smells fruity or like a solvent?
Hydroxyzine can cause an increase in anxiety / possibly the pseudoseizures.
Depakote can cause body tremors or twitching. It can cause problems over time.
My best to you.

Thanks Mark for the reply...
My son is 14 years old.
The Dr.'s have not said anything about his blood work. I know that they have tested it on numerous occasions, though...not so much with the bad breath.
They put him on the Hydroxyzine for his anxiety? Depakote was the one pill that worked for him 2 years ago. When they stopped last time it was Depakote and Topamax.
We are taking him to Children's Memorial in Chicago on the 22nd to see if they can help us out any better then where we are at now.
