[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 360547, member: 3444"] We've had really good support from the combination of Seroquel XR AND Depakote ER for my difficult child 2. He cannot function on a mood stabilizer alone. Just doesn't cut it. As far as side effects go, we initially had a LOT of sedation at the lower doses of Seroquel. It also increased his appetite. But once we got up to a higher dose, things settled down. He's still a bit sedated about an hour or so after he takes it, but he functions o.k. Doesn't fall asleep in his seat like he did initially. And his appetite is normal now. He actually had a dystonic reaction to the OTHER atypical antipsychotics. Seroquel's profile is a little bit different, and my understanding is the risks for the movement disorders are lower. Good luck to you! [/QUOTE]
