Hi all, it's been about two months since I posted and wanted to follow up and not leave anyone in the dark. I was able to get off the seroquel but the withdrawals were a living hell. It took about 2 months before the storm passed and another month until I was stable. I'm still having residual side effects but nothing major. The problem is that my anxiety disorder really kicked up since then. I've had to increase my paxil from 10mg to 25mg (in 5mg increments) and take klonopin 0.5mg at night and 0.25mg in the morning (I played with the numbers a few times and that was the best one), and I've recently added a low dose of wellbutrin to hopefully treat the paxil side effects. Seroquel was, by far, the worst drug I've ever had to come off of. Quitting smoking is like a walk in the park, even tapering off klonopin was a joke. Just stick with it and stay in touch with your psychiatrist, and from now on: Dont take an antipsychotic if you dont have schizophrenia/bi-polar disorder! Nothing off-label!
