[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 252470, member: 3444"] Thanks Totoro, I did ask this morning about perhaps going back to regular Seroquel and just dosing it more often. psychiatrist's office called and said yes, the Tegretol is diluting the Seroquel (so to speak) and that the psychiatrist needs to rethink this and get back to me. So I guess we're stopping it today. He's already on a very high dose of Seroquel XR, so it's not like we can just increase that to compensate. I asked about revisiting Depakote, because he was on it a year ago, but because we were trying to treat his movement disorder (which is now in remission) with other dopamine-regulating medications, we took him off it. I know it did have some cognitive dulling, but maybe he wouldn't need as much since he's on Seroquel XR now? I feel a teeny bit frustrated that we've yet to find acceptable stability for this poor kid... seems like such a long time since he first started medications (seven years ago for gosh sakes!). I realize his symptoms have changed over time and what we thought we were dealing with at first is actually something different. AND he developed the neurological/movement disorder in the middle of all this which further complicated things. Of course, he's on the edge of puberty, which will probably knock things for a loop soon, too! Never a dull moment, huh? [/QUOTE]
