[QUOTE="Steely, post: 105083, member: 3301"] Exactly Sara, that is what happened with us. My son was 15 and on 400mg of Seroquel for 2 years, and suddenly the cumulative side effects were too much. He did so much better once we lowered the dose of Seroquel and eventually eliminated it. Bugsy, your son is on the really, really high dosages of both Seroquel and Strattera, I would call psychiatrist and tell him you are not comfortable with this. Who knows what is going on, but I think at least those 2 medications need to be lowered. As far as Lithium, I guess I would not increase anything, until those 2 are lowered. Lithium has been a lifesaver for my son, and it is an amazing mood stabilizer.........so I would not rule that out completely, for now, if you are seeing results..........I would just step back and evaluate all the medications objectively.......
