jt07 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 26 minutes ago, looking for answers said: 1mg 2 x day That's a moderate dose. I took 1 mg 3 x day when I took it. I'm not surprised that your doctor didn't want to up it though given the current anti-benzo climate. Perhaps your doctor is waiting for therapy to take up the slack?

Gearhead Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 1 hour ago, phatphuk said: Assuming what's best for a patient is rather reckless. Doctors complete rather comprehensive educations to gain the competence to make decisions about what medications will best serve their patients. You have just made the assumption, based on the posts in one thread, that you know what Looking’s doctor thinks of his character. From now on, I suggest you think more carefully about your opinions before you express them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just made the assumption that all doctors are competent based on their educational background, that's a fallacy.

Except that in the case of doctors, we know what education they must have and also that they must be licensed by the state. It is indeed reckless to second guess looking's treatment team and assume you know better than they. As far as Seroquel is concerned, you don't even know why it was prescribed to looking. Hint: Not just for anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
