@raspberrytorte you are not alone. I used to abuse my seroquel too. From what I understand it's not all that uncommon.


Two things helped me. One I got my dose raised significantly. I talked to my psychiatrist about it, and he concluded that maybe I simply needed the higher dose. So I'm now on a higher dose daily and feel it's working for me and have no need to take more than prescribed. The second thing that helped me is I only get prescribed 2 weeks at a time. this helps me because just visually the amount I have on hand is a lot smaller, so I don't think I have a big supply to take, plus it makes me a lot more conscious of how many pills I have left so that if I do get an urge to take more, it seems like a much bigger deal. Not sure how your insurance works, but if that's an option for you, you might want to consider getting fewer pills at once.
