Hi,

At 100 mg, Seroquel has deep anxiolitic and sedative properties. It has also a mild antipressant effect. In "general", its neuroleptic effect will kick in only at 300 mg and above.

There is, I believe, significant pychoactive effects, at ANY dose.

Whether or not, these effects are enough to help one's illness, is dependent on the severity/nature of the illness....

Also, sometimes lower doses can work better than higher doses!

all so confusing!

Ace!

I take 100mgs of seroquel and yeh there are definitely psychoactive effects. It's a great sleep agent, and has anti depressant effects. My pdoc just told me a 300mg XR has been or is being approved as an antidepressant. I think, but hope this won't be true for me, it can make you gain weight.
