Thanks for the information. I know a lot of people here use low dose Seroquel. I'm still a little afraid of it at this point but I may try it in the future.


> We took my daughter to see a pediatric specialist at U of Pa and she recommended low dose Seroquel as an add on to Lexapro for anxiety/social phobia.
> She called a new pdoc back home and spoke with him about our daughter, but the pdoc elected to try her on Librium instead as we were in the midst of school refusal and needed a quicker fix. So I can't tell you what Seroquel may have done for her anxiety. As the Lex and Librium only partially work for her SP, we may want to revisit the Seroquel issue, though our pdoc seems a little reluctant to discuss it.

> The U of Pa doctor says they use low dose AP quite often with the kids they see and rarely have a problem with it.

> I know of a young teen who I think has dysthymia and may have Asperger's on low dose Risperdal and she definitely is more outgoing and less irritable on it. They switched her to another AP because of weight gain, but she did not do as well. Now she's back on low dose Risperdal.
