Getting off of Seroquel

I am also tapering off of Seroquel I was on 200mg xr and 200mg at bedtime. I started tapering down the Seroquel at bedtime at 50 mg increments every two weeks. Then I started tapering the Seroquel xr at from 200mg to 150 mg every two months . I am now on 50 mg of Seroquel xr. I also take .5 mg of clonazepam twice a day. I have had some episodes of insomnia so I am now taking 3mg of melatonin at night to help me sleep. The problem is that there isn't a lower dosage after the 50mg of Seroquel xr. Which makes it difficult to taper without any negative side effects. ( for example rebound insomnia). So I guess we are both having the same problem.

Try asking your pharmacist to make a liquid solution of Seroquel. Then you titrate down in very small decrements.

See if you can get Seroquel in liquid form. I think it’s available. You can taper very slowly using the liquid.

Seraquel comes in 25mg. tablets. I'm on 325mg. seraquel and feel like I can't move or talk After taking it @ HS. I see my Dr. next week and have no idea what to do! I have OCD and do compulsions all nite if i can't sleep. Any suggestions? I'm so scared. Maria.

I’m in a similar tapering. I’ve had some sweating at night. Have you experienced this?
