Discuss with MD: Your dosing may be adjusted to a slightly different dose for a therapeutic effect. It is not safe to guess with this without the prescribing doctor's input. Please see your doctor for questions on your psychotropic medications.

No clear equation : Hard to guess, but if I have to give an estimate i would say at least 400 -600 mg of seroquel (quetiapine).
