Seroquel withdrawal or rebound anxiety?
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: 10 hours ago | Replies (22)Comment receiving replies
@chrislever I feel the same way. I have been taking 25 mg at night for sleeping for a very long time and the last three nights I've only taken half tablets and last night fell asleep without it. This morning I woke up with severe anxiety and feeling almost psychotic. It's a terrible feeling and I should not have lowered my dose. I didn't consult my doctor I just wanted to see if I feel better and not as tired throughout the day. Having panic disorder and having it for such a long time, it's so debilitating even with all the medications it's hard to deal with.

@christiner97 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is tough that you had severe anxiety and felt almost psychotic this morning after changing your dose.
Even though you did not connect with your doctor before doing this, I think he or she will understand your reasoning for wanting to be less tired and feel better during the day. They are likely to help you where you find yourself today.
Would you feel comfortable with touching base with your doctor today and "fessing up" about the dose change so that you can get some medication help for over the weekend? How are you feeling now?
