I have been on 25 mg of quetiapine each night for anxiety. Now, it seems to be actually making the problem worse, and I am feeling terrible, to the point of being non-functional, in the mornings. Can I just stop taking it or must I gradually reduce the dosage?

I don't know if this will help you, but there are supplements that really work for anxiety. I am, also, weaning myself off of Seroquel due to the metabolic side effects. My psychiatrist recommended it for insomnia years ago. I believe, it's a terrible drug, and only causes more health issues. Try taking Natrol 5-HTP. It's converted into serotonin in your body and improves mood and anxiety. It can also help you sleep and may help you lose weight. Since I've been using it, I've noticed it suppresses my appetite. That's because it "stimulates" GLP-1 receptors in your body, like a natural "Ozempic", believe it or not. Of course, it depends on your dosage, and whether you take it before meals or not. I've been doing a lot of research on L-Tryptophan also, which does the same thing, but takes longer, because it has to convert to 5-HTP first. You may also want to try the time release version of Natrol 5-HTP. These supplements are really helping me get off of Seroquel; they have been the only thing that have worked for me. I also use Melatonin, when necessary. And, I have no side effects, except they do keep me regular.
