[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 88072, member: 1498"] There are only adult dosages for Seroquel because it isn't approved for use by children. However, many children do take it and the prescribed dose is usually in the same range that adults take it. Depending on the diagnosis, the Seroquel range is between 150 and 800 mg/day, higher for bipolar mania (400-800 mg than for bipolar depression (300-600 mg). The range for schizophrenia is 150-750 mg. Doses above 800/day are not recommended and have not been studied. Seroquel can cause drops in blood pressure. Children under 10 clear Depakote faster than adults do so it isn't unusual for children to take higher doses than adults in order to achieve the same blood levels. The dose range for the treatment of bipolar went as high as 2500 mg/day in order for the clinical trial subjects to maintain the target blood levels. [/QUOTE]
