[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 201239, member: 2423"] My son takes Seroquel as well. His psychiatrist has told us that the therapeutic dose used to be 200 mg, but that docs were finding that Seroquel is metabolized faster the longer you take it. So what once was working doesn't always continue to work and you need to increase it. The therapeutic range for sleep and anxiety is now 25 to 200 mg, but the therapeutic range for mania is 300 to 600 mg. You should also be aware that stimulants like Vyvanse can exacerbate existing anxiety, which is what you might be seeing as well. I would still urge you to seek a neuropsychological evaluation so you truly know what's going on with your difficult child. The symptoms of childhood disorders overlap, but the interventions for each are very different. He sounds "socially clueless" -- has Autistic Spectrum Disorder ever been mentioned to you? [/QUOTE]
