I mean when I took Seroquel I was on 800 mg with it just barley helping me and most people have effective dosages around 200-300 mg. I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem as me, going through meds super fast?
My pdocs (i have been thru several) have never actually given me a reason, but I have the same problem. I can't even keep track of what meds at what doses I have been on. Even high powered pain relievers have no effect on me. I have never done any kind of drugs/alcohol either
