Quetiapine for Sleep: Normal Dosage?

I'm on 50 in the morning and 100 at night.i still don't sleep well.i have gained alot of weight and feel quite miserable

25-75mg is standard for sleep at least from everyone I’ve known who’s on it. Not sure how you were taking 15mg I was told 25mg is the smallest dose. But much higher doses are used for severe medically psychotic conditions/symptoms, I’ve heard around 250-ish mg for that. I personally take 50mg and it helps with both mood regulation and sleep for me, I don’t want to take any more of a dose because I already had to start weight loss meds due to the side effects. But yeah, the first year or so at that dose I slept like 12-14 hours a day and then I got my adhd meds figured out and adjusted to the seroquel dose I’m on and now I sleep roughly 8 hours a night. It’s normal to sleep a little while longer than usual when you start seroquel, enjoy the sleep! 😴

3 months, sorry

That's so weird. I must be the only person it doesn't make sleep! I take 25mg, it's been 4 months, and I'm now unable to sleep more than 5 hours on it :(

Seroquel was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I was prescribed 500mg for bipolar disorder when I was 16 but it made me sleep for 15-17 hours a day and because of that it made me have no choice but to drop out of high school. I got my GED and that was great but I would’ve completed high school if it wasn’t for the Seroquel. I’ve even had friends who’ve been prescribed lower doses like 15mg and they still decided to cut the pill in half because it made them sleep all day and even cutting it in half didn’t help much. All I know is that the only thing Seroquel does is make you sleep way too much and it sucks

I have a similar problem myself. The doc had me try everything and nothing works, but I have not heard of that one.

Quetapine for the win, man. I took Ambien when I was much younger, but I had nightmarish hallucinations (bats flying around the room, people's faces melting, stuff like that) So I quit taking that and started doing over the counter stuff. OTC stuff would work for a while, but eventually I would have to either start taking more than you're technically supposed to, or I would have to go off of it for about a month and do a hard reset for it to start working again. About 2 1/2 to 3 years ago, I had my first appointment with my prescribing psychiatrist, and I wasn't even intending to get something for sleep, but she asked why I was losing my train of thought, and I just apologized and said I hadn't slept well, so she asked how often that happened and I told her. She started me out on 25 mg of quetapine, and not long after that I went up to 50. It's been the thing that has worked the best for me for the longest amount of time. I'm taking 200 nightly now, and I'm finally getting to where I'm having trouble sleeping again, so that dosage will probably go up again with my next appointment next month. I've got to say I've absolutely loved taking it, because other than when I'm adjusting to a new dosage, and I feel a bit groggy in the morning, I haven't noticed any real, lasting side effects from it. It really has been a lifesaver.

Hey I started on 25 and now take 150-200mg depending on mood and the day.

I started on 25mg and then went up to 50mg, I know someone who's on 250mg, 50mg is a pretty standard dose, but if you feel like it's making you sleep too much you can always go down a little bit for a while till you adjust

I've been on it for just over 2 months, 25mg for sleep. It's starting to not work so well and I don't want to up the dose because of the side effects. I'm already eating like crazy on it.

Smile, sleep, Seroquel babe 🥰✨
