I took serequel 25 mg for a few months and went into the dr office and told them I was having stomach cramps. Well they then raised it to 100 mg. I got sick with EVERY symptom on the label and so I stopped taking it. I did take /5 mg at night but it did not help me sleep. I went to the dr and said I need off this med. SO, what did she do? Took me off cold turkey. I went to my GI dr thinking I was having something wrong with stomach. He then has had me taking all kinds of stomach tests like GI's, gastric emptying scans, colonoscopy the works. I had told him about the med but when I stopped I had no withdrawal symptoms the next day so I didn't worry. Now I am having nauseah with everything that comes with that, insomnia, hot and cold flashes, agitation, no appetite, losing weight like crazy and all kinds of problems. I am crying all the time and now people are calling me a hypochondriac because I talk about it because it is so debilitating. I am scared out of my mind and now the dr put me on trazadone. I can't sleep without being jolted with stomach pains and diarrhea. I swallow and feel like I am going to throw up. I am not eating and have gas like crazy. My GI dr has me on 4 medications to help with upper abdominal pain and lower abdominal pain I am experiencing. I want to die seriously! I can't stop thinking about it because it hurts like hell. I used to sleep fine now it's like I am afraid of my bedroom and I don't sleep. Please tell me this is going to end because I can't take it!

I have been on Seroquel for years. I was up to 400mg. It turned on me. I became horrible depressed. I had never experienced depression in my life. I'm bi polar. I am manic, that's were the seroquel came in. I cut it to 300 the first night, second 150, 0 the 3rd night. Yes your weak. My psychiatrist said I may have sensations of lighting in my brain, not to worry. I have not felt the lighting. Just weak, not with it, not my self yet. God Bless

I don't like the feeling I get a few minutes after taking Seroquel and after reading all these posts, this is a drug I don't want or need be taking at age 63 I feel 83
This is not a good medication for me
Please tell me if you think doing the right thing? I only tapered for two weeks, this is day 5 no meds??

Hi stick with it I've quit cold turkey after six years on 300 , I tappered to 200 a year ago and the first two weeks were sheer c**p . its like your brain resists and then your body and to me it was no different to people coming ofg heroin , which I witnessed via work . appetites will go along with sleep and anxiety will greet you with open arms but ....I purchased some sleepeze as my brain was missing the histamine and started sleeping not passing out for a change . expect to be irritable , angry , sad , hopeless etc as the negativity sets in . Valerian are supposed to help along with a high dose of eve primrose for hormones . I had a really silly week , high sex drive giggles etc followed by complete shut down , maybe next week more balance will come but the main thing to know is that you will start craving the ' quiet mind ' that it gave but that is where you have to be strong and say , f you I can do this . stay calm . avoid chaos and if need be run like hell to the nearest field and scream ! Watch funny things it may up the mood and don't make any major decisions for a while . its a challenge one you will be very proud of one day , its worth the freedom good luck .

Wanting to quit MANY medications.....do I need to go to detox????? I am on 800 mg of Seroquel which I desperately want to quit. I also want to quit 30 mgs of Methadone. I am SO tired of being dependant on these two meds. I am schizophrenic and I have Bipolar I. I OD'd on Methadone and Klonopin because I didn't know that, taken together, they are LETHAL. Now I am scared! My psychiatrist saw me yesterday, gave me a taper-off schedule for the Klonopin and put me back on Risperdal. My pain management doc refuses to take me off of the Methadone (I have had 2 back surgeries) because it is ALL about money with him. I am sick of it. So now I take Methadone (which I HATE but I am scared of detoxing at home), Zoloft, Seroquel, Risperdal, Trileptal, and less Klonopin by the day. I am wondering what I need and what I don't. My husband hates ALL of this but he doesn't know the extent of my mental illness. Answers or advice, anyone?????

I'm currently tapering off of seroquel. My journey began 5 years ago and I've been on a variety of psych meds. At this point, I am thankfully "only" on seroquel. I tapered from 300 mg to 200 mg and stayed there for a year. I then reduced by 25 mg a month until I reached 100 mg. I then had the seroquel compounded to a liquid form and just started taking 90 mg. I take it at night and will go down another 10 mg in a month. I had to learn to use a children's measuring dropper to measure one teaspoon properly. My goal is to quit quitiapine in 2017!
