bizi, yes, that's when he is taking it. Did I say that he's up to 200mg already :rolleyes: ? Well, he is. His pdoc does want to get him off of the Depakote all together eventually. He said it will be as soon as he has enough Seroquel in his system :p .

Thrombocytopenia

Jacquie,

The low platelet probably makes him fatigued. I'm hoping that this pdoc will help your DH get better.

Depending on the pdoc's experience, he will wait a few weeks until he starts tapering down the Depakote.

Hugs.

Dear Jacquie,

Does this site make sense about the clumping?

Thrombocytopenia is the medical term for a low blood platelet count. Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that play an important role in blood clotting. Platelets stop blood loss by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel holes.
