Seroquel/ Wellbutrin/Clonidine/BP/Tourettes

Posted by mdemaio5602 on May 29, 2001, at 2:12:22

My son is 14 and has been diagnosed as BP, which is not surprising since his aunt is also BP. He also has Tourettes (mild physical tics)including the ADHD/OCD. His most debilitating problems are his mania along with fears of heights and leaving the house to play (the phobias have been improving lately.} I stopped the ADHD meds (Adderral) because they made the tics worse; it just wasn't worth the trade off. After many changes in meds (luvox/tegretol and now seroquel)(wellbutrin/paxil and now back to wellbutrin)he is taking 300mg of Seroquel 1X/day and 150mg of Wellbutrin 2X/day. I like his psych doc a lot but that doesn't mean she is competent. Is it normal for this many drug changes till the right combo for him is found or am I just impatient? It has been about a year since the BP diagnosis. Is anyone out there taking Seroquel with Wellbutrin and Clonodine for BP and possibly Tourettes? I just want my son to be happy!
