Hi 1914sierra, nice to meet you
I am on Seroquel taking only 25 mg at night and the half of the 25 mg in the morning as needed. Have been years 4 years of taking Seroquel and still can't tolerate more than the initial dose of 25 mg. That is how my body react, every single time my pdoc try to increase the dose to 50 mg I can't get up of bed, I have strong racing thoughts, after all these years and I did ask for second opinion same answers, the conclusion is that for my body 25 mg of Seroquel is good enough.

Amazing how different each individual react to the medication, and is not amazing how much we have to go through to fine the right med and dose.
hugs, Alexia
