l was hoping someone could help me please. l am on 250mg of Seroquel a night and my GP has started saying AGAIN what a high dose l am on yet he was the one who sent me to a Psychiatrist to get diagnosed bipolar and anxiety and PTSD and l do have a heart issue. l am feeling really well mentally for the first time in a very long time and was wondering lowering down by 25mg to start with is that a lot to lower down straight away. l know l will be on meds for life but l think l can lower them slowly down and back to 125mg l was on before l had my nervous breakdown which was really shocking and sadly most of my family have disowned me as l was manic and do not remember much and yes l have tried to say sorry to my family but they will not listen so l have moved on from that part. So is lowering it down to 225mg tonight a bad way of lowering my tablets.

Hi Sharon - my name is Sharon also. I hear your desire to lower you dosage and that is admirable. The less meds we can take, the better! However I believe I would be doing you a great disservice to suggest any changes on your own. You should always get your Dr.s approval for any changes--withdrawal or stoppiing can present more or different problems. You said you were feeling great so why mess with good thing. I also have had nervous breakdowns and a similar diagnosis. I take 300 mg of Lithium and 150 mg of Seroquel. I've been taking Lithium for 34 years. If and when you find the right meds and right dose it's worth taking them for the rest of your life. Hang in there, keep trying and God Bless You! Sharon, too!
