I've been taking Seroquel 400 mg a day for about a year and a half now. I was really dreading seeing my psychiatrist yesterday, because I've been taking more than was prescribed in the past few weeks, and so I ran out early. I didn't want to tell him, but I knew I'd need his ok for the pharmacy to refill early.

Instead of lecturing me, he had me fill out a depression screening test and it showed me as severely depressed, so he said he thought I was self medicating and if a higher dose helped, he'd rather just prescribe a higher dose.

So he's increased my dose to 600 mg / day. I just hope it doesn't make me feel too sedated, or cause me to gain weight, which it hasn't at the 400 mg level.

I'm feeling relieved.
