sonicwhite Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 How many here does seroquel help with depressive episode in conjunction with an anti depressant. I have been cutting my seroquel into fours take fifty mg at night instead of two hundred. But I noticed when I take the full dosage my depression is less worse and my day is more brighter. The only reason I would cut the dosage was due to weight gain but I now know why my docs had me on the high dosage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Seroquel has been very helpful with my bipolar depression. I take 150 mgs of the XR and 100 mgs of the IR every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 200mg is all that high on seroquel, I know I have seen people on 800mg on the boards. And you should know by know not to fuck around with your meds without your pdoc's guidance. 50mg is more often used as a sleep aid than to treat psychosis, or as an anti-depressant. So you totally undermined your treatment. Next time you decide you know better, call your pdoc and discuss it with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt07 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Seroquel at 50 mg is little more than a sleep aid and an expensive antihistamine. We've told you many times not to mess with your meds because nothing good ever comes from it. Your pdoc knows what is best when s/he writes the prescription. If you have a problem with a particular side effect, you should call your pdoc and discuss it. Do not make med changes on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeremonyNewOrder Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Seroquel never helped me with depression. Just anxiety and sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
