I'm struggling with weaning off and my doctor isn't available until March, do I continue weaning off and wait for him to return? Not sure what to do, any advice would be appreciated.
I was on 300mg Dopaquel (Seroquel) and went to 225mg then 150mg in about 3 weeks, I am supposed to go down to 75mg then 37.5mg, but at the moment my anxiety is acting up, I'm irritable, and as far as withdrawal symptoms go this should be good news but of course the anxiety doesn't help. I have anxiety and depression but dopaquel was mostly to help me sleep at night. I am on other things for the anxiety and depression, but I wonder if I should be reducing one of those as well, maybe the balance is off because I reduced the one and not the other?
I don't know, hence my needing to ask for help.
I've been on it for about two years but I wanted to see if I could sleep without it, because I am terribly useless during the day, and I'm pretty sure it's the dopaquel. Didn't matter if I took at 11pm or 8pm, I would still end up struggling to function the next day. I feel more energetic during on the lower dose, but the anxiety and irritability...
My sleep seems to be fine on the lower dosage of 150mg at the moment, but should I be worried about the anxiety? Or do I wait and see if I get through with the next tapering down (to 75mg)? Or do I stay at 150mg, see if it levels out, until my doctor returns? I just don't want to end up having a massive panic attack while my doctor is away. Any advice would be enormously appreciated...
