Also, will I gain weight on such a low dose? Did it get rid of your agiation?

I know we are all different but I would love any feedback right now. I am currently IP and have been for over 2 weeks and want to go home ASAP but my psychiatrist won't release me until my agitation lessens as I am a danger to myself.

Thanks in advance.
Yes, Seroquel has been instrumental in helping lower my agitation. When my dose was below 100mg it was weight neutral for me.
I知 currently on a mix of XR and immediate release - 400mg. I have had some weight gain at this higher dose.
