seroquel

difficult child just turned 11 last week, and had a pretty stable 18 months since his five months stint in residential in 2007-2008. By stable I mean no physical violence towards people and no auditory hallucinations. We've had the usual impulsive behavior, food gorging/hoarding, lots of lying, and unless...

It has been a while since I have been on because my difficult child was doing really well up until 3 weeks ago. Just got back from the dr. and he has changed his medications again. He has taken him off the imipramine he was on due to a side effect of not being able to breath thru his nose at night. He was...

I am new to this group. My 12 year old son was just diagnosed with a Conduct Disorder. We have been working with a psychologist and psychiatrist for over a year and nothing seems to be working. We have tried Trileptal. He has been suspended from school at least once a week. He is very...

Since my son got released from the psychiatric hospital in the beginning of March where he underwent significant medication changes he has had a very stuffy, crutty, booger mixed with blood nose. Sorry but that is the only way to explain it. He also has been drooling alot. It seeps out the corner of his mouth and...

Okay, here we go, 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet every night for 3 wks, then we see the psychiatrist again. We had a GREAT appointment! I dropped off a hand-written a note a few wks ago, describing how difficult child is always tense, agitated and soooo negative, and in general, unhappy, deliberately isolating himself and...

For us it was Risperdal, Zyprexa, Depakote, Lithium, Remeron, Trazadene and Paxil/Paroxatene

hi to all, I just had to ask a question. I was just wondering does anyone else have a child with whom exhibits average functioning behaviors at certain time frames during day/week? I think that's why this is all so confusing for me. Only 6 mos. ago my little girl was outside riding her bike...

We are finishing up our awesome IEP report!!! But since we have been having lengthy discussions with Ms. J (K's teacher) she has unfortunately seen K start to fall apart. School is going on 4 weeks now. I think the School thought at first that we were asking for a lot. Because K presents so...

So we had an appointment with M's psychiatrist Thursday morning... I swear, I don't think he even listened to my message on the voicemail!!! I left a VERY detailed message describing M's "manic" behaviors, etc. and when I got in his office today I had to re-describe it all and when it started and how long it...

My little guy has been having really bad days. He has had some relief on risperdal but it caused him to gain a lot of weight gain. Just quickly wanted to see if any of you have had success with seroquel helping. I know of course that every child is different on these medications. He has gone out...

I posted before about my son not tolerating respidone. His dr does not want him to go back to abilify. She is going to put him on something called seroquil. The abilify did help somewhat for his aggression and sib. Since his behavior on risperdone was awful,will he react the same way with...

Kanga has a couple of fixed paranoid delusions. The therapist can't reach her because to Kanga these are very real. Are there any medication that helps treat impaired reality: delusions, hallucinations, etc??????

So difficult child is being cross tapered from Abilify to Seroquel. He is currently at 7.5mg Abilify (was at 15mg twice a day) and 200mg Seroquel. I spoke to him last night, and his irritability is way up. He says he is tired (he always says that even if he is crazy active, I think his body gets tired...

I haven't posted here in a while. My last post I was asking about an adhd medication called procentra. He started this a few weeks ago. I can't really tell much of a difference in his behavior at home. He is in summer school and I did not give it to him the first day. I have given it to him each...

Our difficult child is 7. Current diagnosis is ADHD/ADD combined type with Mood Dis not otherwise specified. He takes Seroquel and Prozac and is in a therapeutic school program. Stimulants have never helped, only made things worse. He has always had some anxiety even though earlier doctors said he didn't. Last week difficult child was to go...

Sara nad Shari, I would really apprecaite your insight on a situation we are having with my son and the possiblitty of clonidine being the cause. Anyone else with comments or info please feel free to respond as well. Thanks. Sara, In reading your replies to others and myself, I have...

So it has been 5 actual days (complete doses) She wet her bed last night, did not wake up. Has gained another pound, this is now 6 pounds in 8 weeks. With heavy duty food...

Well, after the other night I told school, do NOT call me. Gave them husband's cell number, informed them he cannot answer, leave him a message and he will return the call. Please do not call me. Alex does not listen to me and I am not dealing with him. I KNOW husband will NOT tell me if school calls...
