How much is too seroquel?

Answer 1

Snorting any Seroquel is too much. The drug is not intended to be snorted and using it in that way could lead to unwanted side effects. If you're wondering how much is too much then you probably realize you should reconsider all together.

Answer 2

Mr. A was a 52-year-old white man with chronic paranoid schizophrenia and a history significant for multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, poor response to neuroleptic therapy, and irregular medication compliance. His history was also significant for overdosing, usually during attempts at self-adjustment of medications. After an overdose of risperidone in the past, he was noted to have a QT interval of 496 msec. Mr. A's medical history was significant for cardiac dysrhythmia and hypertension, which were managed with felodipine, 10 mg/day. His psychiatric medications were 600 mg/day of quetiapine, 100 mg/day of sertraline, 20 mg of buspirone t.i.d., and 50 mg of haloperidol decanoate by intramuscular injection every 2 weeks. On the day of the overdose, Mr. A was discovered to be comatose, presumably a few hours after ingestion of the quetiapine, and in acute respiratory distress. Resuscitation efforts by paramedics were unsuccessful. An autopsy revealed cardiomegaly, with left ventricular hypertrophy and bilateral pulmonary congestion. Further testing revealed quetiapine and nicotine in his urine and a negative immunoassay screening test for his other medications. Mr. A's serum quetiapine level was 18,300 ng/ml (steady-state expected range: 100-1,000 ng/ml). Quetiapine was also detected in his gastric contents. Calculation of pill ingestion from pharmacy records of his last refill, based on an assumption of regular medication compliance, estimated his overdose at approximately 10,800 mg of quetiapine

Max. Dose by FDA: 800 MG, usually is prescribed up to 1200 mg, but is less safe, can produce pancreatitits, and stomach problems. Also confussion, sleepiness. The max. dose might change by the diagnosis. If you are taking seroquel for insomnia, anxiety, the common doses are between 25 and 100 mg, for schizophrenia up to 800 mg, in bipolar pt. can be prescribed up to 1200 mg. I´ve seen pts. taken 1800 mgs. per day; in this case I preffer decrease seroquel and and risperidone, abilify or zyprexa.

Answer 4

Any ammount above the prescribed dose is deemed as 'too much'

Answer 5

At least over 800 mg per day, as far as I know.
