Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are worried about your son's problems. Reviewing the medication that he has been prescribed:
Desval (Divalproate sodium) and Topaz (Topiramate) are mood stabilizers
Clonil (Clonazepam) is an anti-anxiety / sedative medication
Rolmizac-D (Rabeprazole) is an anti-ulcer medication

Bipolar disorder is treated with mood stabilizers, and so, the treatment he is recieving currently seems to the appropriate treatment.

Regarding the headaches / migraine, I would suggest that he needs to be properly evaluated befor prescribing any medication for the same. So, please consult your doctor for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.


Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
