Every persons body reacts to meds differently ..
When first diagnosed I was on Seroquel about 300mg and it helped altho I was eating everything that didn't move.
My daughter started Seroquel about 6 months later and 50 mg knocks her on her backside for 14-16 hours .. She really tried to tolerate it .. but nope her body flat refused so she flipped to Triliptal and it was perfect. I once tried Triliptal and couldn't even walk straight and non stop nausea.
Sounds like based on your current symptoms the increase makes sense.. Just because you need to increase now doesnt mean in the future you can't bring it down some.
Hope you feel better soon
