seroquel

So my friend, with the poor little 7 year old who can NOT get any help, finally put him in the hospital. And guess what? After one day, he is leaving. She called the nurse's station and found out that he was put on Seroquel. That's a good thing because he's hearing voices, although the nurse...

difficult child#1 is 9 years old. He did great most of last year. Last summer he just went down hill. He started melting down over nothing all the time, he became very violent, we now home school because he cant handle school. Anyway, the docs cant get his medications straight. He was on 7 at one time! We have him...

psychiatrist suggested it was time to try to address ADHD issue again since difficult child has been stable on Depakote, Abilify, Straterra and Tenex. We are eliminating Straterra and dropping Tenex so he should be done with-that one in a week. Introduced Focalin ER today. difficult child has never done well with-stims (Ritalin...

difficult child 2 is getting his work done today! And he wrote ALL of his assignments down in his planner! And it's LEGIBLE! We added a sliver (5mg) of the Daytrana patch this morning after I complained to the psychiatrist that he was still unfocused, disorganized and generally struggling to get his work done...

Hi I'm Jal, I started on this website under another name around 2005. Fran was a great help in pm'ing me info and links and with helping to aquaint me with-this site. We've done and have been through a lot. Please see sig. For a while I was able to access this site @ home, but that was during...

difficult child has only been on Zoloft for 2 days, so I don't think that's it. He has been getting up in the middle of the night and playing PS2, and sneaking snacks. I thought I had hidden anything with-wheat and oats in my locked office. I think these things have babies in the middle of the night. When you...

easy child spilled her guts last night and ratted out difficult child 2 for a stunt he pulled while we were away this weekend. I got home Sunday night and noticed that the rubber on the front of his tennis shoes was worn away. I asked difficult child 2 what happened and he said he was riding his bike down the hill and used...

Just wanted to post a brief update on difficult child 2 and his medication situation for anyone else wondering about how well this drug works. He's taking 700mg Seroquel XR at bedtime, 5mg Daytrana patch in the morning (yeah, we trim it and it works just fine this way), and 400mg Seroquel XR at lunchtime. The...

Our psychiatrist is so great. I really mean it. He's totally focused on the big picture with my kids and not just the crisis-du-jour. He told me today that he's concerned about difficult child 1's reaction to prednisone this week, and that with his family tree, we have to watch for mania. That observation...

On the days difficult child 2 forgets to go to the office to get his lunchtime dose of Seroquel XR, I know right away when I pick him up from school at 3pm because he acts like someone with bad ADHD. Even when I give him the missed dose by the time we get home at 3:30, three hours after he was supposed...

I think the meeting went well. difficult child 2 was able to articulate what's going on with him -- both the good and bad. We've decided he is one of these rare people who metabolize drugs ultra rapidly. psychiatrist has about 30 to 40 patients on Seroquel XR and no one blows through it like difficult child 2. No one. But...

Things seem to be sliding downhill for difficult child. I talked with psychiatrist last night and he agrees. He said he was afraid of this too - kind of knew it was a matter of time. He agrees that we need to take the opportunity of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) opening (difficult child has been on the waiting list since March) at the end of the...

Before sending off my difficult child to a residential treatment boarding school, we want to try an antidepressant. Right now he's taking Imiprimine at night but the psychiatrist seems to view that more in terms of bedwetting issues. Don't ask me why. I was thinking that since difficult child had such a horrid reaction a few...

for difficult child 2. So now, instead of 600mg Seroquel XR at night, and 100mg regular Seroquel at lunchtime, he's going to get 400mg XR at night and 300mg XR at lunch. Now you see why I only give the school one week's worth of medications at a time? I figured this would happen. So now I have to get another...

We’ve been doing some medication changes for J now that school has ended. We finally got him off Depakote completely and haven’t seen a return of his mania (yeah!). He’s on 100 mg BID Lamictal and 5 mg Lexapro – and he’s still depressed. He’s lying around the house, not wanting to do anything but...

Just thought you guys might be interested - I certainly am as this is being trialed in children and adults with great results. "JBRF received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to begin the clinical trial of a pharmaceutical agent to treat the symptoms of bipolar...

So to make a really long story short.....at the age of 3 my son was diagnosed with ADHD. They tried to get me to medicate him then, but I just assumed little boys should run around and play, climb on things, take things apart, etc..... I refused medication at the time. We had gone to see a...

I've been lurking for a few days and after the last week, I feel compelled to introduce myself and hope for some guidance. I don't have all the abbreviations down yet, and I see others have posted info in signatures, which I can do soon. Our family is a blended family; my husband has two boys...

I have been gone for a little while. My son went to visit his grandparents, which is what I feel he needed. He got spoiled by my parents and brother. His trip was all about him finally. So when I got to the airport my mom surprised me with a visit for 1 month. I could not belive she was...
