I've recently been going through a depressive phase and my PDOC upped my antipsychotic - seroquel - from 50mg up to 400mg.
Hopefully you see your PDOC again soon to discuss your current mood state.

yes I did taper down..within 2 days I think..and did start the seroquel at a low dosage 50xr than after a few days 25 regular than I just cut it in half and it slowed me down, then i started the divalproex. but when I took seroquel..the last time it was combined with topomax and i felt like a vegetable with no brain..so I'm just so afraid to try again.
