A member asked:

What is the best dose of seroquel (quetiapine) if you are just using it for sleep?

Something else: i'm not wild about using it just for sleep, however, it is likely that your physician is using it to augment your antidepressant AND help you sleep. the effective dose range for augmentation can be fairly wide. there is no accepted number/dose for "sleep."
