Answers:
you start on 25 mg of seroquel and increase by 25 mg two to three times a day for a maximum dose of up to 800 mg per day!. However, I have heard of a couple people who have been on a little higher!. But the drug guide that we use, as RN's, here states a maximum daily dose of 800 mg!. The doc would have to give anything higher!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
my brother is bipolar and his meds cause him to pass out too and he gets bad migraines so i dont know whats normal but i think if you feel that way about your doctor it never hurts to go and get a second opinion :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Your dosage is quite common for people with Bipolar!. Just to let you know, you will probably gain weight with Seroquel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well in German New Medicine they link this disorder to two different types of emotional shocks and they think one should treat the emotional shocks!.
I would rather try using some flower essences to try this route before using drugs personally!.
I don not know how you can get off the drugs though as they suppress the symptoms and damage the liver etc
I guess I would try some Australian Bush Flower Essences Emergency Essence or Calm & Clear Essence to try to see if this would help me, then get the doctor to adjust my meds!.
