[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 105079, member: 1498"] The dose range for adults taking Seroquel is between 75 and 800 mg/day. There is no range for children because it isn't approved for use by children. However, there were a lot of parental reports of children being put on doses around 800 mg/day at Mass General a few years back. IIRC, most parents though the children did better around 400 mg (but I could be wrong). Just because he's been on the Seroquel for over a year doesn't mean some of these problems aren't caused by the Seroquel. The effects of these drugs is cumulative; like with TD, sometimes side effects don't appear until after the person has been taking it for a while. Your son is only six. He's taking an awful lot of drugs for a child that young. Lithium is approved only for kids over 12 and even the Strattera isn't approved for children under six. [/QUOTE]
