Seroquel and adhd | ADHD Information

Share

I am just trying to find out if it is a common thing for physc. to prescribe seroquel for an adhd kid. I read somewhere that if they prescribe it they are thinking bipolar?

Just wondering if anyone else's kid is taking it and only adhd?

my little brother used to take that, it's a powerful antipsychotic I believe...
When he was taking that, his diagnosis had nothing to do with adhd.  It was social anxiety or something, coupled with depression and mild schizophrenia I think.
