It all depends on what disorder it's prescribed for.

I'm on 800mg Seroquel for bi-polar (along with some others), and I feel ok.

If you're Schizophrenic, then the starting dose is usually 25mg twice a day, increasing to 400mg/day.

I would not advise adjusting your medications by yourself... should only be done under a dr's supervision.

*Whoever wrote this is insensitive and I would venture to say is making light and using the word "crazy" to compensate for insecurities regarding their own plight with mental illness. 800 mg. is described as the "working dose" for many severe cases of Bipolar disorder according to the psychiatrist that prescribed it to me. Crazy is a loose term. I have been diagnosed with Mixed Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Sever OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder and I functioned for 29 years keeping everyone around me in complete dark that I suffered from any, let alone all of these. I saw a psychiatrist for the first time three weeks ago and honestly, to be told I was severely mentally ill was comical to me as well since I am smarter and more productive than 90% of the people I know. Mental Illness is not a downfall or a flaw, it is quite simply an adjective. Do not let people who are immature about it make you feel ashamed of being who you are and having the courage to seek a better life without being plagued with symptoms.

400 mg is by no means a high dose, it depends on what you are prescribed for, for Bi-Polar the dose is usually 300-400 max, for schizophrenia it is common to go up to 800 per day, I take 300 a day for Bi-polar, I have a friend who takes about 4 different types of meds a day, including 2400 mg of Seroquel, and no he doesn't sit in a corner drooling on himself

Yes. Seroquel depresses the respiratory and circulatory systems and can lead to coma, brain death, and when combined with other depressants, heart failure aka death. if you have a serious psychiatric condition 300 mg is a usual dose. If you do not then DO NOT take anywhere near 800 mg unless you are trying to commit suicide, in which case seek help. Suicide solves nothing it just hurts those who care about you.

Based on my personal experience with Seroquel, 300-400MG is the average dose (at least for treatment of bipolar depression).

well i got high when i took a seroquel but idk what those would do if yu took em both at tha same time. the seroquel screws yu up but yu have to fight through the drowziness. also a side affect is joint twitching and it frigan blows. not a good high at all if your trying to get high


Is 0.5mg of seroquel a high or low dosage?

This would be a low dose, considering seroquel comes in the lowest dose of 25mg. I don't know how this would be dispensed? or if it even exists as something that would be prescripbed. I think you may mean 50mg.


What is the difference between seroquel and seroquel XL?

seroquel XR (eXtender Release) can be taken just one-dose daily; usually 3 hours before bed-time without food or a light-meal. Seroquel immediate release should be taken 2 or 3 times daily. Seroquel XR reduce extrapiramidal symptoms, and common side effects like weight gain with 2-3 times administration (Max. concentration are not so high with XR version)


How much adderall should you take with 100mg of seroquel?

It totally depends on what you are taking it for. 100 mg of seroquel will knock you out if you aren't extremely used to it. The doses of both seroquel and adderall change based on how much you have done in the past, plus what your underlying disorder is. If this is for medical purposes, consult your doctor. If this is for recreational purposes, don't take any more adderall than you would take w/o the seroquel... the seroquel will obviously mitigate some of the effects (as adderall causes more dopamine to be released and seroquel, among other things, antagonizes the d2 receptor). I currently take 25 mg of seroquel at night and 15 mg of adderall xr in the morning, and the combination is fantastic. But take that with a grain of salt, b/c everyone's physiology is different. In that respect, this question is kind of like "how many lines of coke should you snort with 6 beers?" It can't be answered without a lot more information. Seroquel mainly antagonizes the d2 receptor of the brain. ADHD which adderall treats mainly has threaputic affects through the d4 receptor which seroquel has minimal affinity. Your seroquel shouldn't affect the effects of adderall so your normal dose should do fine maybe a 5 mg increase might help if you're taking a particularly high dose of seroquel


Can you take seroquel if you are high on bath salts?

I suppose that this combination is not recommended.


Does Strattera seem like a good match with Seroquel for a 10-year-old boy with ADD?

AnswerStrattera is an ADHD med. Seroquel may possibly be used to treat hyperactivity but using it on children is highly questionable. Seroquel in high doses is used to treat psychosis and manic episodes. Low doses of Seroquel have been used on adults to treat anxiety and as a sleep aid.


Can Motrin be taken with seroquel?

Yes, you can depending upon what your dosage of Seroquel is. Withdrawing from Seroquel caused me to experience severe chest pain and high blood pressure the first few days after each dosage cut. After I had the chest pain thoroghly checked out to make sure there was nothing seriously wrong, my Dr. gave me a prescription for low dose tramadol to take those first few days at each lower seroqel dose so that I could function. You should talk to your physician though--the CNS depressive side effects of Seroquel and Tramadol are additive.....so I imagine you might not be able to take it if you are on a lot of Seroquel.

Is seroquel snortable?

Probably but don't do it Seroquel doesn't get you high but if you're gonna try to abuse at least just take it orally. Also nobody snorts Seroquel so no one really knows how safe it is. For all I know you'll have a seizure and die I'm just guessing.
