[QUOTE="Steely, post: 47367, member: 3301"] Oh gosh....I am sorry. I realized after I typed that last email, that maybe "doctor in the box" is a Texas term.......God know we have enough of those!!!:) Anyway......that term applies to like a Prima Care, or one of those places that has doctors all days of the week and is open to all people...I am not sure what they would be called in CT, but they could basically give your son some antibiotics unil you could see your regular Dr. I would hate for him to wait until Tues to get them, because by then it could move into his kidneys - and beside it HURTS! As far as the medications.....I know nothing about Strattera, but I know a lot about Seroquel. Of course, these are MY personal experiences, so please take them as just opinions. My thought is that to jump your boys Seroquel by 200mg is pretty outrageous. That is ALOT! I don't know how big your boy is, but my son is 6'2 and if I had increased his Seroquel by 200 in one dose, it would have knocked him out.
