[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 127805, member: 2423"] Anxiety is just part and parcel of a mood disorder (my son has suffered from anxiety practically since birth). Seroquel will treat the anxiety, as well as depression, mania and mood instability. According to my son's psychiatrist, kids frequently need a high dose of Seroquel because over time the body processes the medication faster and faster so the child essentially ends up on a lower dose. The psychiatrist said some kids are taking as high as 1000 mg. Like many psychotropic medications, Seroquel is not dosed by weight but by clinical response. In my son's case, when he reached 800 mg, he turned into a new kid. We have offset the weight gain that Seroquel can cause with Zonegran, a mood stabilizer that suppresses appetite. Good luck at the psychiatrist appointment tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
