Does Abrupt Increase In Seroquel Dosage Cause Any Side Effects?

Yes thanks my name is mark flowers. I recently switched my health care to the VA .I had been taking Lexepro for 12 years .My new psychiatrist took me off this and now to counter the effects of withdrawal she increased my seroquel from 300mg to 600mg then 900 mg.Does tripling the amount of seroquel triple the side effects like weight gain ,cholesteral ,blood sugar etc. My tryglcerites,and cholesteral are high already and to be honest id rather be a little manic than at higher risk for stroke, heart attack,and weight gain.What is your opinion? and can my primary care doctor overide my phsyciatrist and let me back on lexapro for health reasons
