I don't know for sure if a manic episode caused my son to stop taking Depikote, or if stopping Depikote caused a severe manic episode. I think it was the latter. However, this has been going on for 3 weeks. How long can this last? What will happen when this ends and he has quit his job and ended his relationship? (that was already very stressful and unhappy) Could these decisons be rational even though they were made during the hyper, entergetic, hectic insomniac period?

I am just trying to understand. It's never been this bad.

Thank you!
