[QUOTE="Jena, post: 217698, member: 4514"] hi, she's now on almost 40mg. of seroquel. we began at 12.5 mg. of it. she's super sensitive to medications and they usually take affect pretty quick with her. Yet she's starting to climb again. What's very frustrating is that she is looking for an "easy" answer to this. She wants to pop a pill and be all good. I've been trying to explain to her lately and the therapist it requires effort and work on her part. To stay focused during day in school, to handle the anxiety attacks when they hit, to handle the jumpiness and nastiness when it hits, to try to use her "tools" meditations, breathing techniques when she's bouncing off the walls and not sleeping. Yet she doesn't want to. She's so so thick headed she's like no i'm not doing it, that's it. LOL. I'm sitting here thinking oh man we have a lifetime ahead of this, hopefully i'll break the wild horse soon and she'll begin adhering and trying these things. When we do them together she's all pink and blue yet we are trying to break her of her overwhelming neediness of me as well. So, now I start her off on rough nights and she is supposed to continue on alone. [/QUOTE]
