"today is may 15, i started at a low dose of 25mg cut in half. i do notice i&#039;m not having the fears. my child has a rare cancer with no treatment or cure, so i really thought of her death daily. i&#039;m able to not think negatively now which is healthier for both of us. i have no side effects that i&#039;m aware of yet. i am just starting out and on such a low dose. after reading all others here, i think i would like to stay on a lower dose, maybe less than 100mg. we will see. there is another part of me that just does not want any of this but the reality of it all is, i may feel this way now because the medicines are working. i have been on 100mg of seroquel for 5 years for sleep. i am going to start to wean down and maybe off it, on doctor&#039;s recommendation of course."
