Simakitten, apparently it can be higher. I'm on 1600 mg emergently starting tonight for a short term boost to hopefully stop my mania. I'm a bit afraid of this dose I must admit. But it's just for a while.

I remember years ago how the side effects -- immediate need to sleep, etc. -- would hit me hard, but now I can take the Seroquel in the daytime and not have a problem going about my business... even on 800mg it seems weaker than before. What I'd really like is for her to add a small dosage of another AP med... but she is absolutely refusing to do that. (Oh, I was on Depakote for a few years and was happy to get off of it... and when I did, I noticed no difference whatsoever, which implies that I'd been taking the stuff for nothing!).
Btw, sorry for not following up for a while... I don't get online here very often.
Thanks for your reply,
Simakitten
