>The lowest dose available for Seroquel XR is 50mg.
Why does your pdoc want you to start with XR? Could you maybe switch to that later if it is a good med for you?
This may be a dumb idea as I am certainly no med expert from personal experience. I do have some small background in medicine and in medication dosing specifically from prior jobs. Because of your sensitivity concerns, would she be open to you trying regular Seroquel (non-XR) as it comes in 25 mg tablets? I believe they are round (but maybe not scored) and can be split with a pill splitter, so you could begin with (roughly)12.5 mg if you wanted.
Just a thought. I hope you find something to help soon. I don't post on this board much, but I have been around Babble for years and I know there are many kind and knowledgeable posters here!
