Yes, they are very bad drugs. I stopped olanzapine cold turkey and 2 months later I put myself into a long term depression and medical treatment impatient hospital. It almost killed me. Now I've been on Seroquel since May. I am going to titrate off all my meds as my physical health continues to deteriorate. And at age 63 they are no longer working. I anticipate a long duration to accomplish this but I want to live naturally and become physically healthy again!

Good luck and God bless.
@kmr24karat Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You feel your medications are no longer working. You went off olanzapine cold turkey and that resulted in an inpatient hospital stay. Now you are on Seroquel. You want to be medication free. I'm wondering if you have a trusted provider that will help you safety taper off all of your medications?
How have you been tapering off Seroquel?

I am a strong advocate against Seroquel period. I started symptoms of tardive dyskinesia and gained 30 lbs in a year. On top of pain, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and agoraphobia I am now fat.
