I do think the dosage is too high. It makes him feel comatose and trapped in his body at the high dosage.
He was on a hold in the hospital (for trying to hurt himself with overdosing on seroquel during a mania rage). Then they prescribed the increased dosage from 200mg to 300mg, they insisted. They way the doctor talked down to me I felt like a common idiot.
My son tells me now that he pretended it helped him while he was at the hospital so he could get out of the hospital. Now we are waiting for a new pdoc and a new therapist through the county. i've had to apply for assistance because of all the doctor and hospital bills. I'm out of money, I can barely work anymore. This is going to continue to be a long difficult road of finding him a helpful med combo, pdoc, therapist, everything.
