In reply to Seroquel: Is My Doctor Right?, posted by TomG on March 9, 2005, at 13:23:17
Hi Tom,
Oops, I guess this answers my question that I posted to you above. I asked you what med you were going to try next.
I think you're doctor is doing a slow titration for two reasons...
1. He thinks you may respond to a low dose given your past experience with a very low dose of Geodon. He wants to find the minimum dose that can treat you, helping to avoid side effects.
2. Seroquel can be sedating, especially if the dose is high. He wants to avoid causing too much sedation and give you plenty time to start developing tolerance to the sedating effects of Seroquel.
Best of luck,
Ed.
