I went up in 50mg. Simply tell your doctor youd rather it done in 50mg OR just cut it down yourself, you know your body best, if your having harsh side effects go up slower.

All the best

I took 200 mg two nights in a row because I had to get up to volunteer today and I felt way better than the day before. Tonight I'll see how 300 mg affects me. At least now with the higher doses I'm sleeping really well!

Mine was increased 50 mg at a time but fairly quickly.. I agree with Dee if you think it's too strong too fast I'd cut it back a bit and slower...x

I was almost always upped in 50 mg increments, when the search was on for the right therapeutic dose.

I take it for sleep.
Being able to sleep is a major problem for me.

In the past few months, I've had a night here and there when the Seroquel didn't work it's magic.
The instructions were to double the dose if and when that happens.

The last time, doubling it didn't work. So now I take 200 mg a night (which is the 'double' of what I was previously taking) and I'm to take another 100 mg if I STILL have trouble sleeping.

I was on Seroquel a long time ago, went off of it, and now have gone back on it.
The first time around with it, my therapeutic dose was 400 mg.

Sorry but this is one of my least favored drug,it may only be me but I gained 100 pounds while on seroquel and it make my legs constantly fidget. I wish you the best but so many doctord prescribing it raises some red flags for me. I stopped taking it 2 years ago and lost all the weight and sleep great with Ambien,except the driving while sleeping,LOL

I don't know why you are taking this so this is just my opinion:

I took seroquel for maybe 6 months and gained 50 pounds. I became so depressed and almost suicidal for the weight gain my pdoc took me off of it and put me on lunestal and riserdone, and also gave me klonopin to use as needed.
It took me almost a year and a half and a gym membership and a nutritionist $$$$$$$$ to get the weight off.
