[QUOTE="Janna, post: 62666, member: 2737"] No, SW, never used the Seroquel in conjunction with the Lithium. Truthfully, our current psychiatrist had suggested it, and I was willing, and then he switched his mind to Geodon. Then somewhere between then and now, Seroquel left his mind, and he was thinking the Klonopin/Ativan line, which I don't know if I'm 100% comfy with (I don't like the word addictive for a 10 year old). When he tried Seroquel, it was around age 4. The psychiatrist said "ADHD/ODD", tried Tenex, then Clonodine, then Ritalin, then Metadate, and mumbled "hmm, maybe he's manic" (I had NO clue what manic was then). We tried Seroquel, can't recall the dose, and it helped Dylan sleep, but didn't seem to do much else, and was d/c within a week. LOL! Truthfully, back then, I was looking for "the magic pill", and I'm sure my patience/tolerance level was very low. So, yes, that may be a good reconsideration. Thank you. I do not THINK Dylan is depressive at all. He loves to get up in the morning, go to school, go to camp, play with friends. Very rarely, even when raging, does he cry. He doesn't seem to be a depressed person, or have that type of personality. I think psychiatrist is leaning toward hypomanic. Mixed states. I dunno what the !??! Maybe Lamictal isn't what we should be thinking of. Blah. Never heard of Neurontin, will check into that one. Thank you for the support. And Marg, I appreciate you taking time to be here, you've given me more words of wisdom and advice than I'm sure you know. Thanks you guys. [/QUOTE]
