[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 316621, member: 3444"] I wondered about that, too. But the label says it's only got a cup of coffee's worth of caffeine in a whole bottle, and he takes 1/2. Plus, he took it at 8am and the crash came at 7pm. I realize some kids can take 12 hours to process some things out of their system, but I have my doubts about this being the case for him. I was just reading an e-article about vitamin supplements for bipolar. They do recommend the B vitamins, but in careful dosing because some of them can induce mania in certain people. I see a bit of this in difficult child 2 on this energy drink, which is loaded with B's. Our psychiatrist actually suggested we give him Mountain Dew in the morning a few years ago when he was having trouble staying awake and alert in the mornings. Maybe that would be better... Some people just have no idea how easy they have it with their kids. Can't stop the medications because he becomes manic. Can't continue the way he is because he's missing out on too much. Anyway, maybe we can tweak the Seroquel and make an improvement in this issue.... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
