Hi Cthomas
I'm on 800 mgs of Seroquel. I'm so grateful this medication exists!! IDK if there is a generic if yes, Target's generics are $4.00. Also mention you do not have Rx insurance to you Psy. Dr. (free samples may be available) Side effects do exist on Seroquel but decreased suicidal thoughts & it was one of the things that helped to lift a long bout of depression, I put up w/ side effects. Best of Luck. Holmes

PS I started out on lower doses ~2 1/2 yrs ago & gradually increased to the 800 mgs.
