[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 306134, member: 3444"] Okay, I'll see what we can do about sticking to a "regular" wake time on the weekends for him. MWM, he's very sleepy in the mornings. It seems to get better as the day wears on. By late afternoon, he's much better. Not as good as he was before he started the Seroquel, but better. We tried him on Tegretol, but it screwed up his Seroquel absorption (and it is known to intefere with some medications). I've tried cutting back on the Seroquel, but his symptoms get worse... more hyperactivity and impulsivity. He takes a morning dose of Depakote, and I don't even remember why, so maybe I need to ask if we should just lump it with his bedtime dose now. I don't know if we can move his afternoon Seroquel to add to his bedtime dose... I just know that if he misses it, he's messed up. I hate that he's so tired all the time. And I hate messing with medications during school. It really bites that he's had to deal with this for so long... I would really rather it have hit him at an older age -- at least some days it feels like that. It's like he's missing out on so much because of this.... :( Okay, enough whining. [/QUOTE]
