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.

Hi, @lla2019 - how is the taper going so far? Are you experiencing any side effects?

@lla2019
Your reducing your dose by 50%. Personally I wouldn’t reduce it by so much, however some people can do so and have still have an unremarkable taper. It is unusual with such a powerful drug and one with such a short half-life (6 hours.) To some people I know personally and others I’ve read about with schizophrenia this drug has been a Godsend but in some that help came with a high price.
I’m hoping you have an uneventful taper. I have little doubt you’ll feel much better once off this powerful drug.
Good luck to you,
Jake

How are you doing ok n it now? Are you ok and sleeping well?
