Brief Answer:
Seroquel can be taken upto 300 mg per day
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available prescription dosage I feel there is enough scope to increase the dose of existing medications. For example select can be increased upto 40 mfg per day if there is anxiety is not under control.
Similarly seroquel can be increased to 300 mg per day as the dose of seroquel in anxiety is upto 300 mg per day.
Since there is 200 mg of seroquel at bed time the rest can be spread through out the day.
I must inform you that whatever the change you make keep your doctor informed and follow his advice as he knows better than anyone including me due to the fact that he have more details about your illness.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards
