Hey,
That's on the low end of the antipsychotic dose range, which is (I think) 200-800 mg.
I'd also like to point out that Seroquel in those ranges is showing strong promise as a mood stabilizer for bipolar, working on both the (hypo)manic and depressive sides, as well as anxiety/mixed states.
The sweet spot as an antipsychotic seems to be around 300 mg for the average person, based on some numbers I was looking at. Also in a fixed-dose study for bipolar depression 300 mg was slightly better than (but not statistically distinguishable from) 600 mg.
Best,
