Initiate Treatment with Carbamazepine
Carbamazepine and valproate may have positive psychotropic effects, particularly when cyclical irritability, insomnia, and hyperactivity are present. Several children with autistic disorder were treated with valproic acid after electroencephalographical abnormalities were found. These children had an improvement in behavioral symptoms associated with Asperger's disorder after valproate treatment.
