I am a 49 year old woman who was just diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder, type II, and ADHD.  Explains much of my life.  I am on Trileptal and Straterra.  I'm assuming that you son was given Seriquel for the mood disorder.  I know it is prescribed for mood disorder but not sure about it.  If he doesn't feel better you may want to ask about the Trileptal/Straterra combo as it has done wonders for my life.  I feel like a new person.  My twin daughters are 19 so I had them evaluated and they both have ADHD but no mood disorder.  They have recently been put on Straterra but it is so subtle that they don't feel any different but I can tell as they are more confident and able to complete tasks now.  They both failed classes their first  semester of college and dropped for a semester to get regulated on Straterra.  They will apply for the 2008 fall semester.  (Not sure of the spelling for Trileptal.  I am on a generic form.  Ck with your doctor)  Hope this helps.
