Meto stat dose / Quetiapine

[loopylou]

Ok...

I think I have a partner.

they don't have Meto , I have the stat dose of it.

I am prescribed Quetiapine and have done for a long time

my question is, what mg Quetiapine do I take to equal the stat dose of Meto, and are the timings the same?

don't want to mess this up for either of us , so any help would be appreciated

from my understanding you need to be taking 300 mg of seroquel (quetiapine) for 2 weeks to build up enough in your system to act as an antiemetic. i don't have meto but i do have a prescription of seroquel so i am going that route. i did my research on it here, you just have to do some digging :) hope this helps!

I have been taking 300mg nightly for roughly 6 years now . Ok thank you will have a dig

I have Quetiapine to sleep (it's weird, but that's what my doctor prescribed it to me for). I told him I had depression and trouble falling asleep which only made it worse.

Anyways, I'm supposed to take 50mg in nights when I have insomnia. When I do I get dry mouth and sleep for 10 or more hours, which is not ideal, and still wake up feeling groggy for a good while... So I very rarely take it, generally when I'm having a meltdown and sleep would be a helpful escape.

I am putting together a kit with all the meds and instructions for when I decide to ctb and thought I would take that as an antiemetic. I don't really want to become dependent on it for two weeks when things can change during that time and I'd be like "ok, maybe not now".

Would it not be helpful at all to take it only in the fated day? If it would, how much should I take and how long before the SN drink?
