I am thinking about asking my doctor to increase my Seroquel from 300 to 400 mg. Does anyone have any experience with that?

I'm at 800 mg and find that it is quite sedating, but is great for managing my anxiety.

I'm working with a dietician to try to lose weight. I've done it successfully in the past, so feel hopeful.

Does anyone have experience going from Seroquel 300 mg to 400 mg?

So you were able to lose weight even while taking Seroquel?

That was one of my big concerns because I really need to start working on losing weight.

Yeah, I lost 30 lbs when I was on Seroquel, but that was at a lower dose - I think around 200 mg a day.


I'm still hopeful that I'll be able to lose weight at this higher level, if I'm disciplined enough. I really think, in my case, it's poor food choices that have caused me to put the weight back on.
