seroquel

but he doesn't want to rock the boat too much right now and would rather wait until the school year ends. He says the stimulant is obviously not the right medication to help with difficult child 2's focus and attention because we wouldn't be having the issues we are at just 5-10mg. He says that clearly...

the boys doing? Just looking for an update...

So our new pediatrician has set one up for K!!! Only took 2 years! So I am really nervous, only 4 hours of sleep. What if this triggers her? Yikes. They said it takes about 1 hour and they will restrain her if I OK it. UGH Question: were your kids medication free for this? K is only on Seroquel. I have a...

I learnt something very interesting today at my psychiatrist's. I've been on three different atypicals in the past few years and had to change medications and doseages to deal with side-effects several times. Well, I've been experiencing swallowing issues: as if my tongue and throat muscles were not able to...

because, I've heard several things. I suppose I could read the website, but I'd rather get it from people with experience. I heard, initially, it was great for both BiPolar (BP) mania and depression. Then, I heard (God knows where) it doesn't do much for mania, mostly depression. So, I'm wondering...

She is such a fricken mess. I know things are not good when husband and I are fighting. K has been delusional for around 2 weeks now. I can't even keep it straight. But the past 2 days she has been gone. Completely living in fantasy land, husband is walking around with the look, you know. K is...

A couple of weeks ago, wee difficult child pooped his pants in his sleep. We were just outside getting the horses up and he did it again. It was loose, but not liquid diarrhea (sorry this is gross). He apologized repeatedly and said he didn't know. Not sure what to make of it. Now he's in the...

It went pretty well. K did not want to talk. She does not like talking, the ex-psychiatrist's have left a mark on her. K said she was doing pretty well. Said she was doing her school work... blah blah blah. husband and I laughed. K then laid on the floor and played frantically. We talked about K's last 5...

Alright ladies, help me out. difficult child started out the school year badly, very emotional about alot of things. We increased his Lamictal from 150mg to 200mg, and things got better. Now, he is sooo hyper. He is on the go, cannot sit still, cannot quit talking. But he is not defiant. If I ask him...

My 22yr old son witg PWS was put on Seroquel 3 x 25mg last Thurs and 500mg Epilim at night I keep seeing one good day one bad day...no great change from previous episodes. I know the dose is small perhaps thats why. His behaiviour is similar to a later stage in the previous episodes that...

Hi Chris - I'm starting a new thread for you. ;) Welcome and glad you found us! "Hi there I'm new as well. Been up all night. Can't sleep tonight/day been up looking for answers for my 10 year old son all night :( Decided I need some forums to maybe help me talk about this stuff with...

Hello, I am new here and looking for support. Our 16-year-old was just diagnosed with depression and oppositional-defiant disorder. I am struggling to know how far to push adherence to rules during this time since we are just beginning medication and therapy. Does anyone have anything to...

I was just curious - of those of you who have kids with bipolar disorder, what has been your experience with Tenex?

I know no one here is a doctor..but I've heard people say that certain mood stablizers are used to treat certain symptons. I really believe difficult child 2 needs some type of mood stabilizer. For the past 1 1/2 p-doctor has told be to start him on trileptal. I haven't... I've trialed other...

I have been lurking here for quite some time. Thanks to all for allowing me into your lives and making me feel not so alone. My son has ballooned up to 250 lbs. Any ideas regarding a mood stabilizer that does not promote weight gain? Depakote and seroquel seem to be the culprate. With...

My memory is not what it used to be and I can't find the posts where these things were listed, therefore, I'm not sure who (more than 1 person) to thank, but Thank you to: 1) Whoever made me aware that a medication reaction could be the cause of difficult child staying up 30+ hours in a row and being impossible...

So difficult child 2 is on his second day of Seroquel at 200mg (well, second dose at that level was tonight). He seems to have on-going periods during the day where he is quiet and subdued. And then other times he is revved up, acting impulsively, silly, sort of hypomanic I guess you could say. During one...

if difficult child 2's behavior trends are any predictor. He has been irritable the past two days. Woke up early on Saturday morning (8am) on his own, which is very early for him -- he would sleep until noon or later if I let him on the weekends. Sunday I woke him at 11am because he had things he needed...

psychiatrist added abilify to difficult child's lithobid and tegretol last week and told me to stop it at any sign of agitation or restlessness. difficult child was on a cleaning spree last night, went out for 3 short walks, went to bed about 11:00--11:30 and was up cleaning when I got up at 7:30 this morning. I'm stopping...

and so far so good for difficult child 2, I think. He actually woke up at a reasonable time on his own the last two mornings instead of sleeping all day. That's very interesting to me and I'm wondering why... He seems to be better focused. He's not so goofy/giddy like before. I think the real test...
