[QUOTE="Jena, post: 221385, member: 4514"] hi i just wanted to jump in and offer you some support and say ive been there as well with the medication game, recently infact. It wasn't until I recvd. great support in here that i was able to break thru my wall and try another medication. So, even on the amt of seroquel he's still jumping around a whole lot, huh..?? Do you see any anger outbursts, violent stuff at all, easily aggitated? Sorry I dont' remember the back ground stuff from other posts. I can barely remember yesterday lol. My daughter was also diagnosis with adhd, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), depression and bipolar their assuming at this point and anxiety disorder. It gets complicated with the medications. My daughter didn't respond to any antidepressants, or any anxiety medications at all. We never tried a mood stabilizer, we decided to go with seroquel. so far, so good. we are only on 75mg. she still has breakthru sleepless nights she seems to be cycling right now. So, the doctor right now is wanting to add welbutrin to the seroquel?? He doesn't want to go any higher on the seroquel first?? Also i was just wondering after he tapered off the other medications, did his body have a change to stabilize to no medications before adding the seroquel in?? Sorry I'm just shooting out thoughts. I"m also hesitant with medications and with doctors. I always question as you do and thats a good thing because it sounds like your a great advocate for your child. I dont' think they know either, to be honest. It's like the process of elimination. Nothing is tested on children, so with that being said they just go with what they know from past experience with i guess treating their other patients. is he in therapy also?? i think it's a combined effort, the therapy with the medications, and the school and us! sheesh it takes a village, right??
