As an atypical antipsychotic, tapering is often recommended. Stopping cold turkey can obviously result in very uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. So, my recommendation is to speak to your doctor.
I got cut off my seroquel cold turkey and had horrible withdraw symptoms for a year and 3 months and as soon as I went to a new Dr she started me back on it at 100mg once a day and before I was on 400mg three times daily for 3 years I had vomiting weight loss and sever agitation so it can last 4 months to 15 months I didn't request to be put back on it but I'm glad I was because I'm sleeping again and not puking

Last Friday 3-6-09 I decided to quit remeron cold turkey with my doctors help. My withdrawal From Remeron includes many hellish side effects such as; nausea, brain shocks, insomnia, flu like symptoms, Insomnia being the worst by far.

Hello, so I'm bi polar and have a personality disorder and I've been taking seroquel 300mg before bed for 13 months and lithium 900mg for 5 months. 2 days ago I went cold turkey and now I'm feeling really weird like everything I see is moving but it's not. Hoping anyone with medical experience can give me some advice on what to do or what to expect from withdrawal. I've given up on my doctors and hospital so I'm trying online.

I went off of my seroquel xr 300 mg for two days , I think I went into withdrawal , flu like symptoms , cold then hot then so cold like bone chilling cold ..Is this possible?
Why are the withdrawal symptoms of seroquel the same as the withdrawal symptoms of heroin? I know that you shouldn't just stop taking it and I understand that it is a non-narcotic medication, but I still would like to know why the symptoms are the same? I am currently taking seroquel for anxiety.
I tried to call the nurse but they are never available so I did not do my homework on this med and quit it cold Turkey. Four days later I was so sick I could barely stand up. Migraine head ache nausea, shaky you name it. So I went on 25mg a day. I got I'm touch with my doctor she told me to fast taper off of Vistaril in 6 days then go off the Seroquel because after 2 weeks of being on 25mg I was still sick. So I tapered off Vistaril and went off Seroquel On a Thursday.
Did you actually get to talk to the doctor who took care of her on inpatient, or to a clerk or a nurse? People come back from hospitals with screwed up med lists all the time, and a low level person might blow you off or not understand the seriousness of the situation. While you can stop Seroquel cold-turkey in extreme circumstances, it's not really a good idea for any med if you could wean instead.
I would only imagine that the physician, who has been prescribing you the Tramadol so freely, should be willing to help you taper it and help you with the side effects of the withdrawals that you will be experiencing. I would not recommend stopping it cold turkey as the withdrawal from it is essentially the same as the one for the opiates. It usually takes several weeks of the really nasty symptoms followed by several more of just insomnia and general weakness and depression.
i think going off serquel cold turkey and abilify is what did me in or maybe side effects from the new meds. i took the old meds yesterday and not the new ones and already feel better.
i was takes off the abilify and serquel because it was causing my blood sugars to go up and my cholestrol and blood pressure. plus i gained 20 pounds. but i was happy felt good now i'm back to feeling depressed and sick.
I was on 600-900MG of Seroquel for at least 5 years. I contacted my psychiatrist about stopping the medication when I realized it had been prescribed for a condition I do not have. My doctor was not open to this conversation and I unwisely decided to stop on my own. I did a fair amount of research prior to my titration and even went so far as to map out my titration schedule on a calendar. My main withdrawal concerns were anxiety, rapid heart beat and insomnia.
Your Mom is right -- when a withdrawal is more than you want to handle, you go back on the last dose at which you felt fine and taper off more slowly. Quitting cold turkey is the worse way to do it and with some meds can be dangerous. The question is, of course, did you ever tell your psychiatrist you were stopping? So here's what your options are now: stick it out and hope it goes away. Go back on it and taper off as slowly as you need to under the care of your psychiatrist.
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.
You will feel horrible if you cold turkey like that. It is quite terrible. So, try to feel comforted that any human being that cold turkeys those meds will feel like ****! I have been on several different meds and thought I was smart enough to cold turkey - not so. You need to check into state aid, or the state/county health clinic. I hope you feel better. If you still have some meds left over, I would try to taper myself while in the other country.
