Quetiapine - When the dose gets upped, how long does it take to have an effect?

Wild cat did you gradually get better of did it happen all at once?

A gradual improvement. I noticed at times that I was doing better but one day it all just fell into place and I realized it was working well.
Best of luck to you.

Thanks again

Wild cat I have been on quetiapine since end of may had no really good results so far just got upped from 100mg to150 mg you think I should stay on it longer as doc doesn't seem to care when I try to talk to him

When you say no really good results do you mean none at all or some improvement even if it's just a little?
For most people 150mg is the low end of the recommended dosage. Maybe give it just a couple of weeks before you decide what you want to do.
Your doctor seems very "compassionate" (sic). Is he/she a psychiatrist? Have you thought of getting a second opinion?

Feel a little improvement the doc was not very good at listening talking down to me till I got angry

He is a psychiatrist through the community mental health team the other one I talked to was even worse

Thanks again for your help just feel so fed up
Struggling to get proper help

Have you considered a referral to a therapist who could communicate with the doctor? Also, a therapist can use CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) to help you recognize anxiety triggers and better ways of coping with your anxiety symptoms.
I've been in therapy for my anxiety and for PTSD and I think it's a great adjunct to medication.

I've started therapy 3 weeks ago suffer with PTSD and anxiety but starting to get depressed now as I've been struggling really bad for 61/2 months
Many thanks again

What would you do in my situation wild cat ?
Many thanks

Hard to say because I have a tendency to push through things until it's no longer reasonable... if it is in fact unreasonable.
The use of Seroquel in the treatment of anxiety disorders is fairly new but what studies I've read seem to indicate the effective dose for most people is 50-150mg/day.
I think I'd try the increase and give it a couple of weeks before calling it quits.

Thanks

Get better information off you than my doc
