Concerned Mom - Question for Cam
My son has an elevated CPK of 229. He had taken seroquel[ 150mg]. His psychiatrist refused to order a blood test telling me that I should see a therapist and stop worrying so I had his MD do one on my own. The CPK was at 3600. The seroquel was stopped and the CPK went down to 229 within a weeek after stopping the seroquel.Sseroquel had been added to 5mgs respirdol which my son has been taking for a year. Now one month later the CPK is still at 229. My son will see a neurologist 6/4/01. What tests should be done? How invasive are they? Should a specialist do them? How will we know if the elevation is due to heart, muscle or brain involvement? Is this NMS? How worried should I be? My son is 31 and diagnosed with schizophrenia. Psychologically he is doing very well. Thank You for responding.
