Thank you for your input, TO. I appreciate it. Yes, I have gained a ridiculous amount of weight since being on Seroquel. Now I have it down to 12.5mg though, with the hope of going off this spring. __________________ |

My pdoc has me on 150 of Seroquel but insists its "just for sleep". I tried weaning off last year but couldn't sleep so I gave up that idea.

150 is really high for sleep! The common dose for use as a sleep aid is 50, 25, or 12.5. But better to stay away from it, imo. __________________ |

my doctor put me on seroquel 200mg for sleep then 300mg never worked so got off of it easily because I was not on it very long.
I take 1mg of klonipin to sleep well now except when I have to get up frequently to go pee. I had put on so much weight, need to get serious about losing this weight. bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

I'll ask pdoc next time she calls. Not exactly sure when that will be- maybe the 5th? They called and a recording told me when my next appointment is but I wasn't near anything to write it down in.
