I personally would avoid seroquel unless it is a disorder of psychosis. All of the antipsychotics can cause memory and learning problems. I found it very hard to learn the next day when I took seroquel. It can sap energy too. But so can insomnia, which is the catch.
Zoloft seems to work well for kids. Be sure not to get the dose too high. I think low doses can work wonders, but too high a dose can cause problems. They're strong drugs, and kids often don't need a whole lot to benfit.If insomnia, and anxiety are the key issues, then trazadone might be worth another whirl either on its own or with the zoloft.
If you do end up trying seroquel take as low a dose as possable, and take it early in the evening.Linkadge
