; ; ; ; ;

J Clin Psychiatry 2002;63(11):1048-1049

Article Abstract

Letter to the Editor

Sir: Quetiapine is a relatively new third-generation antipsychotic with a labeled dose range of 400 to 800 mg/day. Quetiapine has demonstrated efficacy in the management of patients with a history of partial response to conventional antipsychotics. We report the case of a schizophrenic woman who achieved full clinical remission without significant side effects with a high dose of quetiapine (1600 mg/day). To our knowledge, evidence from daily clinical practice or controlled clinical trials has never been published on high doses of this new antipsychotic.

From the Editors

New Series The JCP Podcast Lamotrigine clearance can rise by 200% to 300% in pregnancy, turning a previously stable dose into therapeutic failure, while the postpartum reset can make that same dose toxic fast. This conversation gets practical about monitoring, tapering, and why screening for bipolar disorder in postpartum depression can change treatment decisions.
