How much seroquel do you take until you overdose?

Answer 1

It must be a lot! There were reports of a man taking 200 100mg tablets who went into a week long coma and woke up in the psych ward.

The LD50 is extremely high I think about 4000mg/kg but I was unable to find a case similar to that

Personally Im helping a girl recover from about 6500mg of seroquel and over 100 tablets of Tylenol. Studies say half the Tylenol dose should have killed her, especially since she wasn't found an rushed by ambulance until ten hrs later. She was slightly coherent treatment started immediately and within two days she was pretty much herself again, except looking at time in psych. Tomorrow will be day three she is being discharged from cardiology.

For those of you trying to find a sure way to overdose, remember her story! She's only 24 135 lbs she might have some minor long term health issues but they say physically she's made a full recovery

Don't go thinking a bottle of pills will solve your problems... I can almost guarantee you'll just end up with more complications.

Answer 2

From Personal experience, I personally can say that seroquel (quetiapine) is in fact , safe. The FDA has to approve and rate any and all drugs that are put on the market. However, being safe and having no complications are two entirely different things. Seroquel, like many drugs that can help you sleep (if you take it at night) can be very addictive. I dont mean addictive in the sense that you will abuse this medicine, but as the sense that you wont be able to sleep very well without it. I had eventually gotten to 100 mg at morn, 100mg at noon and 300mg at night for the anti-psychotic effects to try to curb my Bipolar disorder. This is the dose I had after roughly a 18 months to 2 years. a common side effect of seroquel is drowsiness, and I decided I didn't like being tired and feeling lazy during the day, So I talked to my doctor and told her about it. She asked me if I wanted to get off of the seroquel. I said yes and she said "It wont be easy". I stopped taking my day doses and only taking the night dose. I cant very well or even at all sleep without the night dose.

But on a good note, I went from kind of a maniac to a regular person. SO in my opinon, it is safe, and it really helped me.

Hope that helps,

Seroquel is generally hard to overdose on, as it is designed for people with psychotic disorders. Some people are perscribed 1200mg a day. It is an expensive drug. Remembering it depends on what you are using it for (insomnia or psychotic disorder), your tolerance to the drug, whether you've eaten or if you combine it with other drugs.

Answer 4

Seroquel doesn't get you high...I'm guessing you're tryna get high off it because that's the only reason I can think of you'd be asking how much to take. But if you insist on taking it don't start off with more then 25-50mg. To much Seroquel won't kill you but you can still end up having horrible effects, getting knocked out and sleeping for 16+ hours (not kidding)
