[QUOTE="klmno, post: 174121, member: 3699"] Those sound like very valid concerns and questions to discuss with the psychiatrist to me. It is my understanding that there are "base-line" mood stabilizers, then there are the AP's. Why he would choose to take the course he did is beyond me- unless he is just thinking the seroquel might address the specific symptoms that he saw but he still isn't sure that she has BiPolar (BP) or typical mood cycling- these are just my thoughts- obviously, I'm not a psychiatrist and sure can't speak for one. I would definitely put a call into him though to express concern and discuss these things. Seroquel is a popular medication right now- I take that to have advantages and disadvantages. For one thing, maybe then that means it often does wonders for a kid (and sometimes, as kids grow up, the effects of a medication can be different). on the other hand, when a drug is "popular" with the psychiatrists, it can lead to being over-prescribed, in my humble opinion.
