[QUOTE="totoro, post: 220456, member: 3155"] Thanks Jennifer husband is worried about the Lithium side affects. I know that Seroquel can be used at a lot higher doses but our psychiatrist does not want to use it as a MS, she is using it as an AP. I think she feels it is not the best for MS. She does not like the side affects of Seroquel and K has had some bad AP side affects. Her tics increase and her weight etc. psychiatrist is being very cautious with K's medications, due to her past psychiatrist's starting and stopping so many medications so quickly. We have increased her Seroquel very slowly and will continue to do this with any medication from here on out. One at a time and slow and low. We have been mulling over the lithium for months now, we knew it was the next step... we have just been hoping K would *start* doing well and we had so many changes since August. Move, new School, new therapist etc. We were not going to change her medications on top of it. We will start it at the beginning of the year most likely. We are gong to talk to her and make sure we are ready and K. K has had plenty of blood draws being on Depakote and getting them with the start of other MS. She doesn't like them but she does OK. Bribes!!! LOL [/QUOTE]
