@val56 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
I agree with you. Taping off a medication like Seroquel on your own should not happen. If your provider will not be of assistance then it's important to find a new provider.
I know that is a barrier for many people, finding a new provider. I'm well aware. It isn't easy to navigate the medical system. In times like these it's important to use any support you have, like family, friends, social workers, insurance providers, patient advocates, the office of patient experience, etc. etc.
May I ask if you have experience in taping from Seroquel?

I tapered for 75mg to 50mg then 25mg my doctor told me how but I know it was too fast. I went off twice then had to get back on due to restlessness and agitation both times. My doctor said there are now withdrawals at 25 mg because it’s a low dose. That’s not correct though. So now I’m back on and I saw the link in the Facebook group Seroquel (quetiapine) should be illegal. They have a lot of information there.
I tapered the way my doctor told me 75-50-25 within a couple of weeks. I got very restless when I stoped so I went back on it then stoped again this wasn’t good now I need to get off of it due to muscle twitches and pins and needles. I need to get off this so that’s why I was looking anywhere I could and found that group where they have a tapering file. I haven’t started to taper again as of yet. I’m so scared!
