Thanks for the message. Unfortunately, the Seroquel is definitely for psychosis. Tried to go off it once before (with hopes of getting pregnant) but went into a full-blown psychotic episode and had to go back on the Seroquel. It is the only medicine which has worked well for me, and it doesn't look possible to go off it. I am hoping to lower the dose to 100 mg. and try to get pregnant. The animal studies have been in doses much greater than the hightest human dosage (800 mg.) and there have been some problems with toxicity in animal fetus. I am hoping this lower dose will diminish the risks greatly. I am nervous, but want a family so very badly.
