hi
i hope everyone had a good, calm day today
I have a question, I will be calling doctor tomorrow yet wanted some feedback
It's only the 2nd day difficult child's been on 12.5mg seroquel. She tends to react to medication's rather quickly so I wasn't surprised to see a change immediately in her.
This is what i saw:
- Was able to play with bunch of kids at recess; even "told" one kid off that was bothering her (this would normally NEVER happen)
- Told me how great she felt today after getting to school; no nurse visits today at all.
- Increased aggression with me this a.m. and this p.m.
- Is not sleeping now; slept last night for 13 hours. Tonight nothing; she's up and wired; can't sleep at all.
She's disgusted because she was hoping it would work right away. I told her patience it helped alot during the day, we just have to work on sleeping at night. I know doctor is going to tell me to increase medication dosage, yet I'd rather add melatonin at night for sleep with the seroquel.
Has anyone every heard of that?? I was thinking 2.5 mg of melatonin mixed with the 12.5 mg of seroquel. As opposed to just doubling the seroquel dosage; which will make her sedated. She seemed to have a great affect just today alone from one hit of the medication. I'm sure in time we'll have to increase it; yet I thought of the melatonin mix.
any thoughts???
Thanks
