In reply to Seroquel Help!!, posted by jaricandtay on August 15, 2008, at 22:36:39
> Hi, I'm new here and have a question about Seroquel. I'm on a low dose of 50 mg and have been on it for only 3 days. I'm really going to try and be patient but, does anyone know about how long it takes to notice improvement? I suffer from paranoia, racing thoughts, irritability and severe depression. I'm on Effexor for the depression (225mg) and it's doing nothing for me and it's been over 4 weeks with the Effexor. Any information would be really helpful!! Thank You..
If you've never taken Seroquel before, I would agree, you should feel some soporific effects fairly soon, if thats what you are taking it for.If its for paranoid parts of depression, I'm not sure that's high enough of a dose, usually 100, 200 or so would be needed. But that's up to you and your doctor.
Its sort of antithetical that you're taking Effexor for racing thoughts since it can be pretty activating but then again, sometimes activating agents, like amphetamines and the like can be calming for some people. I know Effexor personally is a fiery irritant.
-- hope that helps-- tidings
