> Mannetje - I am sorry, this is a hospital pharmacist question. I am not sure what to do in an instance like this. I never see the results of these tests and would not know what to do. From what I have looked up, this level is not too high (ie. causing liver damage), but it may be best to ask your G.P. what to do. Both Risperdal and Seroquel can cause increases in liver enzymes, but the increases are normally transient (ie will go away with time).

From what I have read an elevated CPK references poss heart/muscle/brain effect. My son's MD has taken him off the seroquel immediately and we will learn more tomorrow. As to the fast withdrawal from seroquel at that low dose[125mgs] they do not expect any negative problems. Thanks again
