I don't think 100mgs of Seroquel to start would be too risky. Hilary, of course as a full grown young adult, sometimes takes 1200 in a 24 hour period with no ill effects. .

All the pdocs we've dealt with say that Seroquel is relatively safe. I don't know of any horrible side effects to worry about when starting it, the way one has to do with Lamictal, for instance with the dangerous Lamictal rash.

Most of us with kids on Seroquel are very pleased with the results WHEN the dosage is at an effective level.
