Obviously it's your pdoc you need to talk to about this, but until you do, I was wondering if he had suggested upping the Seroquel or did you do that on your own? The reason I ask is Seroquel in that large of a dose will knock most people on their butt. I took that much at the height of severe mania and I think I did sleep but the effect was very scary.
From what you say it sounds like your dealing with severe depression and Seroquel is an anti-psychotic. I guess they're using it now in conjunction with other meds for depression. At that high of a dose it will probably make you very tired and maybe more depressed.
I'm just giving opinion and I could be way off. Not trying to give medical advice. Just want to be helpful if I can. I hope you get ahold of your pdoc soon, and I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Take care.

thanks,
I am in a classic mixed state. Since my PDOC hasn't returned my calls I have upped the seroquel myself. what I feel is like being in hell ! usually seroquel helps enough to get by, but it seems like it isn't working at all. I feel like my brain is on fire a run away train going the wrong direction. I feel so much energy but I can't move. I hate all the suicidal thoughts running over and over. I hate the flashbacks of seeing my son all blue on the floor, saying to myself again and again you failed him. I even have deranged thoughts of searching his room for heroin. I have never touched the stuff, but I am desperate !!
My PDOC is not on board and neither is my husband, that leaves me typing on this IPAD.
