I went back on a low dose of seroquel, roughly 50mg. It worked well. But I kept having to increase it until last night when it stopped working. Today I think I took about 150mg but it's not working. I fear I'll have to go through withdrawals again, I'm asking my parents for support. I can not go through it again alone. The first time was horrible.

Hi, @chrisjc - sounds like a good idea to ask your parents for support in trying to taper off quetiapine (Seroquel). I know from my personal experience it's helped me to tell my husband, especially, when I've tapered off or gone on a medication where I think there's any chance my reactions/behavior might change. He's then been able to understand me better and also let me know if anything seems amiss.

I did have trouble when tapering off citalopram (Celexa) years ago and had to ask my husband to take me to urgent care. It's not easy going on and off many antidepressants or antianxiety medications.

Have you had the chance to talk to your parents yet? If so, what did they say?
