[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 217705, member: 2423"] If your difficult child is truly experiencing mania, 40 mg Seroquel is not going to do it. Mania is typically dosed at 300 to 600 mg Seroquel, with some people needing as high as 800 mg. I recommend reading about Seroquel dosing at [URL="http://www.crazymeds.us"]www.crazymeds.us[/URL]. My son started Seroquel last winter when he was staying up all night for several days in a row and not feeling tired at all (this is truly a sx of mania). His psychiatrist started him at 100 mg Seroquel and went up in 100 mg increments every few days until he reached 800 mg. We have since been able to decrease his dose to 600 mg. We found if we didn't increase it quite rapidly, his sx started breaking through, rendering the Seroquel ineffective. What is the psychiatrist's plan for your difficult child? [/QUOTE]
