[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 99443, member: 1498"] Seroquel and the other antipsychotics are not mood stabilizers. They are supposed to be used for the short term treatment of bipolar episodes, preferably with a real mood stabilizer. It isn't unusual for children taking a stimulant and an antidepressant to end up being diagnosed with bipolar. Some are bipolar, some are suffering from the adverse psychiatric side effects of either the stimulant, the AD or both which mimic bipolar. There is even a disorder called antidepressant induced mania/bipolar. The only effective treatment is discontinuation of the AD. The dosing range for Seroquel is really wide -- 50-800 mg/day depending on the diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
