Re: Tourettes anyone???Louis

Hi Louis,

My son's psychiatrist is considering taking him off the seroquel and putting him

on tenex and a stimulant. I am very concerned about this, because I know it can

make things so much worse. I feel uncomfortable with doing all this at once. I

always insist on one med change at a time.The problem is he cannot take SSRI'S.

I have an appt Wed morning to discuss all of this, but I don;t think this is a

smart choice.I'm afraid his OCD is going to worsen even more.

He has not had any bloodwork.

Thanks for responding !

Hugs

Definitely on medication at a time. We are all looking for results in the

shortest amount of time, but starting two simultaneously will give you a

mixed result that you will not be able to base any judgements.

My 8 year old on Luvox also went on Tenex for ADD. It did alleviate some of

his compulsions but we didn't have any success for the ADD.

Good luck,

Glenn
