ShemJawn Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Hi ! I don't know if this topic is in the right forum so tell me if I should put it somewhere else. On Friday 30, around 10:20pm, I overdosed on 700mg of Seroquel, and I was wondering if it was really dangerous. (I'm 5'2" and I weight 115lbs.) The first thing I noticed was my whole body shaking, then I felt high and cut myself in front of a friend while laughing. And like 1h/2h after I felt exhausted. My best friend doesn't think it was that dangerous because doctors can prescribe 800mg... P.S : I did it on an impulse, I didn't want to die.

jt07 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'm not a doctor, but I agree with your friend. It is common for doctors to prescribe 800 mg (some even more). Anyway, already 2 days have passed and you are still here. I doubt there will be any lasting effects. However, you should bring this to the attention of your pdoc. That kind of impulsivity can be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 If it was a one-time dosage of seroquel it may hit you extra hard, since you did not titrate up. Please, don't try it again. I am glad you are okay. The exhaustion is normal, seroquel is sedating. ((I am not any kind of professional) It sounds like it was dangerous if you had that kind of reaction and the impulsivity is dangerous. You may do something riskier next time. I agree with jt about talking to your doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceberg Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It can be dangerous though if just jumping to a dose...I knew someone who got seriously sick but I don't know how much they took...I'm just agreeing with above abt telling the doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
