Hello, @jenna16bella - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We have many members here who have talked about having a troubled time tapering off quetiapine (Seroquel) like you mentioned and who were also seeking help, just like you.
You'll notice I have moved your message to this existing discussion, "Getting off of Seroquel" in the Depression & Anxiety group. I did this so that you could talk with the members in this conversation already talking about this journey and who are familiar with what you've inquired about. If you click VIEW & REPLY in the email notification, you can scroll back through the past and recent posts.
Hoping other members in this thread like @flpatt @num1boxer1919 @mariiland @jakedduck1 @debstime50 will have some input for you as you seek to taper your quetiapine (Seroquel) dosage from 50 mg to 0. @grandmar may also have some thoughts for you, as she has some experience tapering off medications.
Has your prescribing physician given you a schedule for safely getting off of this medication, @jenna16bella?

Does anyone know if trying to come down on the amount you take would raise the third number on your blood pressure.
No,I just wanted to drop the 50mg and keep the 200,what would the side effect be.

I am currently tapering myself off of Seroquel. I had been put on it (without the dr tellig me all the horrendous side effects). First he put me on 100, 200, 300, 400 and then finally 500. I hate this drug!! I don't trust the dr who put me on it. I had been going through a really hard time with family, medical issues.....work..............I began dropping the dosage down slowly. I am now down to 100........and working toward 50 in a about a week.
