that is a HUGE dose just for insomnia ... they usually give like 25, 50 and 100 at most. I mean its an antipsychotic and you're taking the dose that they give to psychotic people ...
I think some doctors give antipsychotics way to easily ... I mean sometimes they do augment the effects on an AD but they can be sooo dangerous. Seroquel 50 mg made me like a zombie and when they tried 5mg Syprexa and that gave me seizures non-stop. You have to be super carefull with those meds.
