[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 611633, member: 1514"] I know this is going to sound like a strange post but if 50 mgs of Seroquel isnt helping your daughter sleep then I doubt a higher dose will. Seroquel is a strange medication in that Doctor's use it sometimes as a sleeping aid but the dose for sleep is 100 mgs or lower. Once a person gets up there in mg's it seems as though they get used to it and sleepiness is no longer an issue. I took Seroquel for a little while when we had to take me off of trazadone because it was making me not sleep and my ambien simply wasnt enough. I had to start off with 1/2 of a 25 mg pill because anymore was way too much. Years ago they tried me on it and gave me 100 mgs and when I took that first pill I slept for over 24 hours and woke up as a serious monster. After that I swore I wouldnt use it again but I did and that 12.5 mgs worked for me for months. Eventually I did work up to 50 mgs but I had to quit it because it increased my cholesterol so badly.
