Getting off of Seroquel

I stopped Effexor, Seroquel, lexapro and everything else. I feel great. Medicine-free for the first time in 16 years. Amazing how much the meds can mess you up and become the new normal. I wish they invested as much time and money into working with actual mental illness as they did with thinking they were alleviating symptoms. I’ve been in the psychiatric regime for 17 years, paranoid schizophrenic for 25 and nobody to this day has investigated the nature of my delusions. I ended up doing it myself and went off all of my meds and am completely fine.

Thank you for writing. I am happy to hear that you are doing well. I am also tapering off of a medicine...
Not easy! Painful cramping.

There are side effects to withdrawal and some of us may need to be monitored. My biggest helper has been my gastroenterologist! She has given me information about the cramping I might have and not to confuse it with IBS... although it is irritable!

Others, including your former doctor, would benefit from knowing your success story.
Perhaps the doctor would not be so quick to prescribe Meds that cause dependence?

Thank you again for writing.
