Going Off of Seroquel, With a Few Bumps

I did this on YouTube, so the voice doesn't sync perfectly the whole time.

@magriffis33 If you're still having problems (I know your post is 2 weeks old), but what you need to do, if it's intolerable is to go to the ER withdrawal. If you're in America, you can't be denied assistance from the ER. Also call your local dept. of heath and human services/welfare, or it's equal and ask for free clinics, and prescription drug programs that cover some drug costs. Good luck.

I went cold turkey off of Seroquel XR back in May on a dose of 400 mg a day and hallucinated like crazy for days. I didnt sleep for three or four days and constant random images and noises ran through my head. I was seeing and hearing things, it was HORRIBLE. I still take the drug but I make sure NOT to miss a dose or ELSE :(

Beautiful video, very interesting. You are able to convey your experience to others, and to me in particular. You do it even ironically sometimes, and this is good, you are really good at that. I am not american, and I had to work a little now and then to get what you said (for example at 0:20 when you say that you almost successfully....- I think I got the sense of it all anyway) Good luck!

Wow u sound like me. I went thru all the OTC & RX sleep aids. My pcp gave me Seroquel last week & now even when I am awake I feel like I need to go back to sleep!

I have never heard of Atarax but I will inquire on my next visit.

I was prescribed 1,200 mg a day! Yes, 1200!!! Waaaay over the recomended doseage. I gained 100 lbs too really fast.Funny how when I moved out of the state where I was living and being forced to deal with alot of BS in my personal life, I asked my new Dr to PLEASE wean me off of it.It screwed up my Thryoid BAD! Ive been off it for 2 years now, and have lost 40 lbs, but it has been very difficult if not immpossible to do where before I ever took it, I could lose weight easy. NOT now!

Thank you,

I have been prescribed 25mg per day. But the horrifying dreams & weird wake-up make me feel like a zombie. Thank you again
