ANSWER:
Assuming your son has the BPD, in my experience, Zoloft and Zyprexa is highly unlikely to make a significant impact. Neither is Zoloft with Seroquel. Zyprexa can cause enormous weight gain.
I don’t know if he has attention deficit disorder, which is effectively treated by Ritalin. It’s often described as miraculous by patients and their families - if the diagnosis is correct. The official criteria are available at http://www.biologicalunhappiness.com/AD-H-Dcr.htm. "Biological Unhappiness" explains attention deficit disorder at length, in an easy to understand manner.
If he is experiencing chronic dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair) and is on Zoloft, there is a chance he’ll do well with the addition of Tegretol. If he was on Prozac for a week, and was chronically dysphoric, I’m sure the addition of the epilepsy medication Tegretol was added. These anti-epilepsy medications are now referred to as mood stabilizers.
It’s hard to tell what the shaking is during the dreams, but usually treating all the diagnoses can make this go away.
