Aaron has been spiraling out of control. We just finished weaning him off of the Depakote and he's still wetting his pants like crazy and wetting the bed. His cognitive function is not good. He has lost nearly an entire grade level in reading and math in the past few months and is doing terribly in school. I'm seriously about ready to just pull him out and homeschool him.
The psychiatric gave me Seroquel yesterday to add to his cocktail of Trileptal(450mg in the Am and 600mg at night) Risperdal (1mg in the AM and 2mg at night) now he wants me to add Seroquel (starting at 25 mg at night and increasing over the course of a week to 200mg at night and then weaning off risperdal).
What worries me is that I was reading that if you have seizures you should not or may not be able to take Seroquel.
We do not have control over Aaron's seizures. He still has MANY absence and some atonic daily. Not to mention I am pretty sure he has seizures at night too while he is sleeping.
I have not given Aaron his first dose of Seroquel and now unless I can get some good feedback I don't know if I will.
Can I just say here that I HATE EPILEPSY!!!!! UGH..
TIA for any feedback anyone has...
