[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 120964, member: 1680"] I was wondering if any of the children who have been taking seroquel have switched to seroquel xr. I have read a bunch about it but nothing really involving BiPolar (BP) children. It has not come up with his psychiatrist at this point but I know he has it in his office and was wondering if there has been any experience with it. My son is on 650mg a day (broken up 3 times a day) of the not extended release and thought maybe the XR would help reduce soem of the tiredness and the need to go to the school office during the day. He had been stable for about 6/7 months and is not know, so making that kind of change now may not be a good thing. More important Question: My son during this unstable time started depakote xr 2 weeks ago. He is now up to 375mg total. He certainly is not doing better and I think he may be doing worse especially in impulsiveness, agitation, hyperness. I guess I want to know if your experiences show that the depakote could make these things worse and/or if the depakote is just not high enough yet. Last week the blood work showed 56 and the psychiatrist said he feels he will need to be more in the 75-100 range. Thanks, Bugsy's mom [/QUOTE]
