Your job is tough - you must unemotionally critique whether behaviour is worse as a result of drug introduction, or due to some other external thing that is affecting behaviour, e.g. stress, family interactions, etc. Keep "scientific" notes of better and worse behaviours, and discuss frequency/intensity with your son's doctors. I know if this were me, I would immediately suspect that the new drug is destabilizing my Bipolar disorder. However, since I have gained somw benefits from Seroquel, I would choose to start at a lower dose and increase only very gradually, perhaps dosing only at night time... easy as she goes. Your son's condition is unique to HIM. There will be times that an option taken is the wrong one, and that is just the facts. Make your observation, take careful notes and learn from mistakes. You will know - possibly even before your son is aware - when things are improving. Best of luck, Angela Vallee seroquel is an anti-psycotic, and can cause angry outbursts and even psychotic episodes in people who are not psychotic.

Yes you can. I take 400 mg seroquel and 300 mg bupropion daily and I feel fine. However, both medications lower the threshold for seizures. When you take them together, this means that the chance that you will have an epileptic seizure will be bigger. Be careful with alcohol.
