Steve, thank you so much for your input! I don't know much about Seroquel at all. I don't mind the weight gain, as long as it's under 15lbs, as I've lost a lot of weight in the last year. I am worried about falls, but I haven't gotten light-headed yet. I have an emergency alert system though.

My original idea was to go up to 400mg at bedtime but then I figured adding a dose during the day would be better because I am sleeping well but WAY too high during the day...
It feels like the Seroquel was wearing off as I was weaning off the Abilify. And these aren't XR tabs. And I figure I had the syncope episode with XR caps.

I think 150 is too much at once, especially during the day, no matter how high I am. So, I just took 50mg at 7:30. If I'm still too high at 9, I might take another 50 as long as I'm not zombified.

I will let you know how it goes...

Kay
