I think we will have to talk to his psychiatrist about something to take as needed for anxiety.

Hopefully in time he'll come around and join. I know this site would be good for him. I joined a similar site 3 yrs ago for a medical condition I have and it was a lot of help to me.

I don't want to even type what I'm about to...
Has his Neuro started him on Seroquel?
It's NOT a sleep medication. It's an "Atypical" for BiPolar disorder.
Very Dangerous.
There are loads of lawsuits against the makers of these "Atypicals".
Do a google search.
Zyprexa is another one.

The drug companies have spent Billions on swaying doctors into ordering these meds for "off label use".
Please, be VERY CAREFUL with Seroquel!
It's NOT indicated for sleep!
Weight gain can be unbelievable!

Just a warning... PM me if you'd like.
