[QUOTE="Josie, post: 102996, member: 1792"] Seroquel and probably Risperdal increase the risk of seizures in people. Have his seizures increased while on these medications? Either way, I would question the doctors about this. I'm obviously not a doctor but it doesn't seem like a good choice for your son. My daughter is taking Seroquel and at one point, she was having crying spells. She had just started taking the Seroquel and the doctor thought it could be related to that. Seroquel even comes with the a/d warning now about how it can cause suicide and extreme changes in behaviour. Another thing you could try, in addition to trying to get help from doctors, is the girlfriend/CF diet. From what I read, it does help some children with autism. My own children are not autistic but one of them was diagnosis'ed ODD and one of them looked like she had ADHD until they went on the diet. Gluten intolerance/celiac disease is linked to seizures and schizophrenia in studies and there are many stories on the internet about it improving behaviour. In the studies, some schizophrenics symptoms are decreased or eliminated when put on the gluten free diet. From what I've read, some people's seizures go away on the diet but some people's don't. Have you found a support forum for people with epilepsy? You could find out there more about what is expected with seizures. I wouldn't find it acceptable to have multiple seizures but maybe that is part of it. My nephew was recently diagnosis'ed with seizures and has had quite a few while they wait for the medications to work. [/QUOTE]
