I stopped taking seroquel totally. Anybody ever go C/T?
Been on it for over 2yrs high level 400mg 95% 200mg went o 100 and said f-it.
Third day?
Anybody have any experience with coming off this wonderful drug?
My primary says the stuff is poison and i will feel much better soon.
I have an infection and am on a antibiotic called avelox --feel really spaced out
Oh well another drug bites the dust.
Jeff
Hey Jeff...I have no idea at all. Did you Google it? What does your Doctor say? Is 100mg's a high dose..seems you tapered quite a bit.
I guess the best guide is to judge how you feel....how do you feel?
Good for you for wanting to feel good without drugs....but you don't have to be a hero you know. You have alot of health issues....just feel good ok.

Could be the antibotic...and the food...especially since you have worked so hard on your diet. Just drink...gallons of water...it well get the antibiotics doing there job and flush out anything else...and help you digest all that jewish food!!
your so lucky....I just ate a snickers...not good..what I do need is a nice green salad..but that is just to much work and a hassle...LOL
So its off to starbucks for a yummy cold blast of caffine and a banana mac nut muffin! God I need help....LOL

The Dr. didn't wean you off, right?
If he just told you to stop then I'd guess it must be safe to do so.
I don't really know what Seroquel does. Did you take it for your asthma? Is it a steroid?
Anyway, hope you feel better soon.
xxxxoooo

Jeff,
My sister went CT on this drug a while ago.
Her w/d symptoms included anxiety, nausea, insomnia, depersonalization. Also depression.
She is fine now. Said it took a couple weeks to feel better.

Please keep me posted Jeff, I have been considering going off, myself, with Doctor permission of course. :-) I'm on 25-75 mg. I felt like it really lined things up for me, it's the only way I can describe it. But it's been a year now....and I don't want to be on ANYTHING.
Take care, you are a strong person,

I feel a little shaky and crappy but have a bad infection and on a strong anti biotic--
If this i s the worst after taking 200mg of something for 2 yrs basically I will be ecstatic.
My sleep is much better than I thought. I slept 5 hrs straight and then fell back asleep and my alarm woke me.
If this is the worst its a walk in the park.

Jeff,
I am also going CT off of Seroquel. It has been 7 days now. The worst for me is not sleeping and when I do, I have the CRAZIEST nightmares. I have been taking 400mg a day for 2 years, I weaned myself down to 200 and now I'm done altogether. I've noticed at night it's like I have Restless Leg Syndrome and I cannot sleep for anything. (In fact, it was so bad last night I almost took one.)
The side effects from withdrawl are supposed to be mood swings, but my mind actually seems a lot clearer since I stopped. I have had a few fits of rage.
I'm glad I came across your post- thought I was the only one.

Man I started off okay today but man I am either really sick or in W/D but Id Ont give a Puck--
My B.P is 110 -65
Pulse normal Mood how do you feel like when your sick? But I have been sleeping.
My eyesight has changed blood messed up.
I just want off this crap. It really messed me up and I am very angry at myself. This stuff has many bad side effects Google them. Man It dries your mouth bad and I got my first cavity last year. Coincident?
But when I started this journey I had to sleep. Back then I was whacked out and my doctor was right in putting me on the seroquel and I slept. My mistake was getting used to the stupid pills HELLO? idiot
I have a bad infection and have 5 more nights of this antibiotic. I really was unlucky to catch an infection but WTF can I do.
I know this can only get better. Though this withdrawal got bad today I will live. KI am getting off this stuff ASAP

Jeff-
Funny about the cavities. I have gotten 4 in the last year. ( I'm 25 and have never had one in my life.) Could be from the Meds. I felt like total Hell the 1st 4 days but after that the sludgy feeling goes away, I promise...

Are youtalking getting off seroquel because it was prescribed for something other than depression? I am a rapid cycler ( bi polar) and I was put on seroquel about 4 years ago. I take 150 mg at night and have for at least 2 1/2 years straight. Minus the pregnancy. Is it a bad drug? Should I be concerned? Why do you want to come off so bad?
I am also a rapid cycle bipolar. I thought Seroquel was a miracle drug and, at first, it was. After awhile though, I started noticing that the rage and anger were coming more and more frequently. I was just MISERABLE. I got sick for about a week and was taking so much other meds, that I took a rest from the Seroquel. It was the first week that I actually felt Normal in a long time. I wasnt paranoid or having the fits of rage as much. I got better- started with the Seroquel again and then it was even worse than ever.
Also- I have to go get blood work done at the docs because they think it gave me diabetes. (It can do that after long periods of use.)

Blind date? Better than no date at all! Good for you Jeff. Wishing you a Happy Easter.
I am suppose to be working..little one didn't go to school today so house full of kidlets and another stray animal to boot. A cat this time...well a kitten actually. Another call to the spca...another night of tears!
I have had 2 dogs and now a kitten. I don't know where or how this kid does it but she is always bringing home stray animals.
Just like her momma used to. That hasn't changed...hee hee

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry lixie I did not answer you. I was prescribed seroquel for insomnia.
Lixie its a good med but for me I am borderline diabetic.
If you have a good doctor you will be monitoring your blood 3-4 times a year and your diet should be healthy. You do not have to give up all the goodies but if you were like me a 'BINGER" you cant eat 500 milk duds in an hour
I did not mean to upset you. I am mad at myself --Long story But I should have known better. I messed up and well you learn.
Recovery is a life time game for me. So I will deal with this at the correct time.
Sorry If I upset you at all--Jeff

Lol thats ok, I know what you mean with the milk duds. I can polish them off and much more. I am a little overweight by my standards, but being almost 27 you just cant have the body you had when you were 18.
