It all depends on what disorder it's prescribed for.
I'm on 800mg Seroquel for bi-polar (along with some others), and I feel ok.
If you're Schizophrenic, then the starting dose is usually 25mg twice a day, increasing to 400mg/day.
I would not advise adjusting your medications by yourself... should only be done under a dr's supervision.
*Whoever wrote this is insensitive and I would venture to say is making light and using the word "crazy" to compensate for insecurities regarding their own plight with mental illness. 800 mg. is described as the "working dose" for many severe cases of Bipolar disorder according to the psychiatrist that prescribed it to me. Crazy is a loose term. I have been diagnosed with Mixed Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Sever OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder and I functioned for 29 years keeping everyone around me in complete dark that I suffered from any, let alone all of these. I saw a psychiatrist for the first time three weeks ago and honestly, to be told I was severely mentally ill was comical to me as well since I am smarter and more productive than 90% of the people I know. Mental Illness is not a downfall or a flaw, it is quite simply an adjective. Do not let people who are immature about it make you feel ashamed of being who you are and having the courage to seek a better life without being plagued with symptoms.

400 mg is by no means a high dose, it depends on what you are prescribed for, for Bi-Polar the dose is usually 300-400 max, for schizophrenia it is common to go up to 800 per day, I take 300 a day for Bi-polar, I have a friend who takes about 4 different types of meds a day, including 2400 mg of Seroquel, and no he doesn't sit in a corner drooling on himself
