seroquel quetiapine withdrawal

I was taking 25mg of quetiapine (Seroquel) at night for one month. My doctor told me to stop taking it without reductions because of severe fatigue and somnolence during the day. I am not sure if I am going to have withdrawal problems. Any suggestions?

I am now struggling with anxiety and mild insomnia mainly due to withdrawal. Dr. wants me to take 25mg of Seroquel (quetiapine) per day. Do you think this is a good decision? I do not want to be addicted or dependent on any psych drug, and I have heard that quetiapine also is a drug that causes addiction and withdrawal symptoms..

I am currently on 200mg Quetiapine and 30mg Cipralex in the morning. 100mg Quetiapine at noon, and 300mg Quetiapine at night, along with 50mg Clonazapam. I tried taking Zeldox, as I gained a lot of weight from the Quetiapine, but the Dr. made it an add on and kept me on the Quetiapine as well. I had very bad side effects, and got off the Zeldox immediately. I told my doctor about it, and she changed the Zeldox, which was 80mg daily to Abilify, which I take 10mg in the morning and 10mg at noon.

Did you suffer from withdrawal symptoms after quitting Seroquel?

However, I did read an article published by the maker of Seroquel acknowledging withdrawal symptoms. If word comes out that Seroquel is physically addicting and causes horrible withdrawals, people probably wouldn't be eager to take it and sales of the drug could drop. Seroquel is huge right now, this website is covered in ads for Seroquel. As far as the insomnia, I took Seroquel before bed because of how sedating it was for me. After 2.

Am I robbing Peter To pay Paul???? Has anyone had experiences with Remeron(mirtazapine) or Seroquel (quetiapine). Particularly withdrawal Experiences. Has anyone successfully quit Remeron After five years??? Had any experience with seroquel addiction or withdrawal?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening.

I have what my eye doctor called pigment mottling and may be an indication of future macular degeneration. Is there any evidence of Seroquel (Quetiapine) causing macular degeneration or any retinal problems? I do know there is evidence of it causing cataracts.

I have been on seroquel (quetiapine) 100 mg at night for a couple years. I also take Eskalith (Lithium Carbonate ER). My Lithium level was .8 (normal) a month ago. With the change to daylight savings time, the last three nights I woke up around 4:30 am wired (which is better than sleeping til 3 pm ( which I often did on the days I didn't work.) I usually went to sleep around 12:30. I had been taking Nuvigil for energy (no stimulants). Lately I've been working 10 hour days too.

I have been taking Seroquel (quetiapine) for about four months and I haven't had but a few breakthroughs of mania or depression in a few months. Plus the added benefit of knocking me clean out when I go to bed. The only thing that I don't like about it and this is something to look at if you start experiencing this, is it gives me very vivid nightmare.

I wonder why you are writing the generic names of drugs. I know quetiapine the generic of seroquel appeared lately this year as Astra zeneca doesn't possess the patent anymore but the brand lamictal still exists for lamotrigine. Sometimes the brand name is more potent but usually the generics are cheaper i suppose.

It sounds like your disorder is not BP in nature, Seroquel aka quetiapine works as an anti-psychotic, so if you are having delusions and serious disassociation, it will definitely help level you out. You mentioned you have pnurse, but do you have a pdoc who can do a full diagnosis? It's hard to really judge or expect what will go on with you unfortunately. You may have more then a couple of disorders going on.

Does anyone find serequel/quetiapine is helpful within stabilising there moods..

She's reluctant to put me on moOd stabilisers because im a big overdose risk apparently.. Advice?

I am going through the withdrawal symptoms of coming off of the drug Quetiapine. Seroquel is a marketing name. I was originally on 100mg three times a day. I went through a very abrupt decrease to 50mg three times a day immediately for three weeks at that level. After that it decreased 25mg per day each week. Starting by removing the first 25mg in the morning. Then the next week 25mg middle of day. Finally 25 mg in the evening.

my doc prescribed me seroquel/quetiapine 25 fto 50mg, but i took 75mg the first night cause i could not see it working at first, then slept for 15 hours and tired 3 more, then later at night i tried put it down to 50 mg and i was nearly at sleep 2 hours later but not in bed, so i drank a cola and some chips and the med didn't work an hour later(about 2,5 hours after i took it), now i took another pill about 2 hours ago and i can't seem to have it working, i'm still tired tho but not

I am Bipolar and was taking quetiapine (seroquel) for the last few years on and off. I have been in and out of hospital a few times over the last 10 years and fought like mad to convince doctors and family that there was nothing wrong with me but every three or so years I seem to slip into a worrying state. I have been with my partner for just over 2 years and he knows i am bipolar but has not really witnessed me at my worst.

does anyone have info about long term use of seroquel and how it affects you? my hubby tried to stop taking it and got all messed up. they are 50mg xr. thanks.
