[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 162333, member: 2423"] Seroquel has absolutely been a miracle medication for my son -- for treating anxiety, depression and mania. But it's rarely used as monotherapy for mood disorders. Generally, it's an adjunct to a mood stabilizer (or two). I believe that recent research has shown that anxiety is greater in the middle ranges of Seroquel (in the 300 mg range). Sleep issues and anxiety alone are dosed between 25 and 200 mg. Mania and mood instability are dosed somewhere between 300 mg and 600 mg, but sometimes as high as 800 mg. My son's Seroquel dose was increased very rapidly (100 mg a day) up to 800 mg while in day treatment because he was manic and staying up all night for many nights. He was very sleepy at the beginning, but the side effect wore off after a couple of weeks. We recently lowered him to 600 mg because he was having a hard time waking up in the morning. His mood is still very good. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
