I'm really curious what dosages people are on. From what Wikipedia says, treatment for Bipolar is recommended at 200 - 800 mg and that seems like an awful lot, considering how knocked out I am already with one 50mg XR in the morning and a 25mg at night to sleep. Is it weight dependent? I'm 110Lbs. Is it just because I just started taking it?
Anger is actually part of the reason I recently started Seroquel. I have been having thoughts of hurting people and snapping really quickly, no patience, immediately losing my temper and thinking something rash or even saying something and then being surprised and disturbed by my self, constantly annoyed and even when I'm feeling absolutely fine something little will set me off (a woman in a restaurant jiggling her foot made me want to hurt her today... that's just bizarre for me). I'm not normally like that, usually pretty level-headed and patient with people, but I've even started to be hurtful to my friends and I have had to ask them to stay away from me, telling them I just need some space, because I can't control my self and I'm afraid I'll do or say something harmful. I don't know yet if there is a difference on the Seroquel because I felt like this before I started. I have been trying to remind my self when I feel angry that there is no reason to be angry and focus on something else, and the only improvement I can see so far is that I'm actually sleeping, which is a good thing, albeit 13 hours a day, and that I'm not having panic attacks or freaking out and having to sedate my self in order to function.
