In reply to LOW dose Seroquel for sleep...12.5mg??, posted by clubfitter on June 22, 2011, at 8:59:59
> I may start taking 12.5 Seroquel for sleep. Is this low enough dose to avoid most side effects?...I would think so....weight gain in particular. Thx.
I went up to 150mg daily without gaining much weight at all. Seroquel is certainly not as bad as Zyprexa. That put almost 3 stone on me in a period of four months. You should be fine on such a low dose, although the only way to know for sure is to try it. I read a while back that long term use of low dose Seroquel was not recommended, although I don't know the reason(s) why.
