difficult child 2 is taking Seroquel to prevent her from hurting herself in a rage. She hasn't raged in a while so we want to get her off from it. We think she isn't raging because we are treating her Lyme Disease and not just that the Seroquel is working. She takes 25 mg at night. Can we just stop this or should we taper with 1/2 pill or every other night?
When I asked the psychiatrist before, he seemed to think she was on such a low dose that we could just stop. I would like to know what other parents have experienced with this. This psychiatrist doesn't believe in a slow a/d taper so I don't entirely trust him.
We are not seeing a psychiatrist any more. The one we had won't treat her since she has Lyme. Her Lyme doctor doesn't want to prescribe Seroquel but gave us one prescription to get her through until we either get her off from it or find someone.
Anyone had any experience with this?
