Hello, @mrsminniemouse. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You may notice I moved your discussion and combined it with another discussion titled, "Getting off Seroquel." I did this so many members on Connect discussing this topic would see your message and have a chance to add their thoughts.

You sound like a caring mom who is looking out for her daughter. That makes things more complicated with looking to have your daughter taper down the quetiapine (Seroquel) with no assigned psychiatrist to advise when your former physician moved away.

I have not taken quetiapine (Seroquel) personally, but years ago when I was on citalopram (Celexa), I eventually noted what you are talking about - dulling of my feelings. I noticed I was not experiencing low lows anymore, but it was like I was incapable of experiencing high highs anymore, either. My psychiatrist explained that this was legitimate - that some psych meds do just that.

I'm sure some of the members here will have some tips from their experiences tapering off this medication. What you are doing by contacting the psychiatrist or requesting another to supervise and guide the taper is a good move.

Are you looking to talk to the psychiatrist (whomever is consulting) about switching to another medication instead, or going off of this class of medication altogether, @mrsminniemouse?
