seroquel

I'm so tired of this problem. Background: Stepson is 11 and has a whole host of problems, that all boil down to he feels absolutely, profoundly sorry for himself and believes he should be king of the family with everyone scurrying around dedicated to pleasing him, and since that doesn't...

We increased difficult child 2's Seroquel XR to 500mg and reduced Depakote ER to 250mg on Thursday night. No difference noticed Friday. I let him sleep as long as he wanted on the weekend (which was past noon both days) so the day was kinda messed up and it was hard to really know what I was seeing...

Well I had a long talk with psychiatrist3 tonight. I had everyday written down and just started reading them off and K's rxn's since starting Tenex!!! I then explained my fears about trying to treat the ADHD symptoms etc. "I would really like to focus on mood stability" He actually said "well with a...

My difficult child is being discharged on Thursday. I found out this morning. We went from no pressure to discharge him last week to we are going to discharge him Thursday. They said they are waiting until Thursday because they know I am concerned about him coming home and that my daughter is scared to...

I surrender. My son is almost 14-years-old and I can no longer live with him. He's violent, verbally abusive, threatening, and it's only getting worse. I have a twelve-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son who have told me that they don't feel safe around him. I'm now a single mother and...

I'm new to this site and have never tried a support group type thing. I'm really at my wits end. When my difficult child's mood swings into the mean version of him he explodes, argues over everything, hits things, etc. What frustrates me most is when he refuses to follow any direction. He won't even go...

we kicked the Geodon. Was stimulating (I'm laughing, because wouldn't that be typical of my son?). Our choices are, very obviously, limited. The doctor, again (if you remember, he tried this once), suggested the Tegretol. There is an interaction warning with Lithium and Tegretol. After I reminded...

CSI:New York last night by any chance? If I had your number or email I would have called you about 10 minutes into the show...lol. It was about a young woman who ended up getting killed because of her connection with a group of vampires! They made reference to Vlad the Impaler and some of...

I have never been to a forum before, but as my username suggests, I am at a complete loss as what to do! My son has always been Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), been athletic, and did great in school. After he hit teen years and has gone through some bad experiences, he has gotten totally apathetic. Recently, he...

We go back to see the psychiatrist next week on difficult child 2. I am tearing out my hair, and am at the point where all I can think to do is find a way to try to help myself detach and try to destress in a major way--seems like I can't help my son at all. And he is only 9. His major symptoms are irritabililty...

Here is a little background for those that don't know her story. A was a difficult child from the time she was about 3 until she was 10. Her diagnosis was ODD and Depression. We tried her on Lexapro which worked at first, but kept needing to be increased. We were looking at adding Seroquel to help...

I have a 13 year old daughter. In the past 9 months she has attempted suicide 3 times, with this past time... landing herself in ICU ....with liver damage.She has been hospitalized 4 times in 9 months - Pysch. Units. Been in php (partial hospitalization program) for almost 7.5 months...

I have no idea what I'm doing here so bear with me. I have a 16 year old who has just been diagnosed with "maybe" bipolar. They aren't sure because right now she's refusing to really talk to anyone about how she's feeling so everything is based on what I'm telling the docs. Things started...

Is it really possible for a 12 (almost 13) year old to have a full blown panic attack? My son for the last 2 nights right around 9pm starts complaining of right sided chest pain, inability to catch breath and just starts pacing almost. If I get up he jumps up and asks where am I going and why...

Clonidine makes my little difficult child very irritable the next day. So much so that we avoid using it unless its a last ditch effort. Is there another drug that has the sedative properties that anyone else has tried? We don't use it often, but the after-effects when we have to are about as bad as...

hi so i went to dr. and he diagnosis difficult child with bipolar (not otherwise specified), adhd, and severe anxiety disorder. so there it is my ex husband is screaming and carrying on which is a nightmare for me and additional stress. i think he's going to take legal action against me at this point and try to stop me from...

hi so i was sitting here thinking what's up with me? I have had difficult child on drugs in the past, did the all nighter to watch her first night on them and see how she does, sent her to school after i knew she tolerated it, etc. yet now i find myself in a much different place than before. I went...

hi i hope everyone had a good, calm day today :) I have a question, I will be calling doctor tomorrow yet wanted some feedback It's only the 2nd day difficult child's been on 12.5mg seroquel. She tends to react to medication's rather quickly so I wasn't surprised to see a change immediately in her...

I just came back from visiting difficult child in juvie. He was saying that kids on seroquel will sometimes cheek them, then use the seroquel as a bet while playing cards. He says the kids say it can make you high. Did everyone except me already know this? I'm kind of glad now that psychiatrist changed difficult child...
