[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 167536, member: 2423"] My son has been taking Seroquel since December for anxiety, depression and mania. Your difficult child is on a very low dose. The dose range for anxiety is 25 to 200 mg. The dose range for mania is 300 to 600 mg (and even higher). I'm guessing your difficult child's dose is just not high enough to see any effect. You should also be aware that kids tend to metabolize medications faster than adults. So while 25 mg makes you a zombie, it's very likely that your difficult child's liver is burning up 12.5 mg pretty darn quick. I'd recommend a call to the doctor about what you're observing. by the way, you might want to arrange a consult with a child psychiatrist. Peds aren't trained a whole lot in psychiatric medications.
