Prescribed Seroquel To Help Her Sleep. Seeing A Psychiatrist For Charcot-Marie-Tooth. Now Stopped Seeing. Has Seizures. Trestment?

My daughter was just prescribed seroquel to help her sleep. She is on Fentinyl, 2mgs clonazapam 3x daily and a few other drugs. She told me the last time she took it that she would no longer see the psychiatrist she was seeing because she has Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease and the Seroquel was something she should never have been prescribed. When I remind her of why she stopped seeing him, she denies it but
is back on the seroquel. This worries me. She is now having seizures both grand mal and petite and is currently in the hospital.

Hi, your daughter is having sleep disorder, and now having seizures, so there must be some thing concerned with the hypertension, ischemia of the brain, or epilepsy, she should be tested EEG, CTscan, and other tests, so i advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
