[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 182110, member: 3444"] 'cuz we're running out of time before school starts. psychiatrist appointment today went fine. He agrees that sedation is still an issue with difficult child 2 and that clearly the Seroquel XR is not holding him at his current dose. We're increasing it to 500mg tonight and should hopefully see results in the next couple of days, plus lowering the Depakote ER to 250mg (to help with the sedation as well). He also talked about dosing him more than once a day as an option. He also said that if this doesn't work, we may drop the Seroquel and switch to something like Tegretol. He agreed that stimulants are not an option anymore after I described how difficult child 2 responded to just 5mg of Focalin recently (focused but tense, irritable, and then explosive when it wore off). So we're on to the next part of the journey towards stabilization (I hope, I hope, I hope). Tomorrow he'll try day camp again... yesterday went pretty well, so hopefully he'll do o.k. again. And maybe by Monday the dosage increase will be working... [/QUOTE]
