Does anyone here take Seroquel? If you do how much do you take? I'm just curious about mine and wanted a comparison from someone else. I know that we are all different and require different meds & doesages but wanted to ask anyway.


TIA


P.S~~ I saw my p/tdoc yesterday and it went very well. I feel very lucky that I found someone I like and can so easily open up to. She thinks I would benefit from analysis therapy ( i think that's what it was called, to retrieve my lost memories) but right now I think it would be too intense for me to deal with and also it looks like my insurance co wont' cover it so it would be out of pocket : ( Rightnow I'mjust going to focus on my new

OMG....I took 800mg a day of Seroquel. I hated it, but it's just me. I gained so much weight it was horrible. I no longer take it.

I take 9 x 25mg = 225mg a day.

It was hard to get up to that dose because of the sleepiness, but I did it. It also can cause a little bit carbohydrate cravings...so I take most of it at night, so it hits when I'm asleep.

Hugs,
Rowan

Thank you all for your replies. I sure hope I don't gain weight on this med because I won't stay on it then. Sadly I am way too vain to deal with that. Hopefully it'll be ok since I take the large dose at night before bed. So far so good though, I actually think I am still losing weight. I've lost 20lbs since November and I'm thrilled, only 5 more lbs to get to my goal weight : )


Thanks again for your opinions.

Hugs & Prayers
