The symptoms you described?excessive sleep, social withdrawal, and spitting?are likely side effects of his current medications, which typically include a mood stabilizer (like divalproex sodium) and an antipsychotic. Oversedation can cause isolation, while spitting may be due to medication-induced excess saliva. Please consult his psychiatrist promptly. They may consider reducing his doses, switching to less sedating alternatives, or adding treatments to manage saliva production. Additionally, psychosocial support or therapy can help him gradually rebuild social skills. Please do not alter his medications without professional guidance, as sudden changes can cause a relapse.

Divalgress-ER 250 Tablet (divalproex sodium extended release 250 mg) is prescribed for conditions such as epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine prevention. The duration of use depends on the condition being treated, your response to therapy, and your doctor’s assessment. In some cases, it may be required for a few months, while in others, such as epilepsy or bipolar disorder, it may need to be continued long-term. Always follow your doctor’s instructions, and do not stop or change the dose on your own, as sudden discontinuation can worsen symptoms or trigger relapse.
