HI,
It that sounds like you have to make a lot of decisions! From what I have read and my own experience on Topamax, I have heard that Neurontin causes less bothersome side effects than Topamax and is more effective for BP and both are weight neutral. My psychiatrist and I were talking about alternatives to lithium and she said the two she would recommend were lamictal and neurontin. These are recommendations she made in general terms and everything is an individual case. Seroquel- I don't know much about, all I know is that it is often used for auditory hallucinations. Don't forget to see how your son feels about all the side effects especially with all these changes. It is good that you and your son are working together on this.
Good luck.Sara
