Question : Is 100mg of seroquel/day for insomnia also an anti depressant dose?

Answered by Dr. Shubham Mehta (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
seroquel can acts as antidepressant at this dose.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

Seroquel 100mg can act as antidepressant at this dose due to 5HT1A partial agonism.

However, the individual response may vary.

Some people may respond 100mg of seroquel while in others, depressive symptoms may not respond to as high as 300-400mg.

Hope this answers your query satisfactorily.

Take care.
Thanks.
