I am on day 26 100% prescription/drug free after being on 300mg Seroquel for the past 8 or so years. Seroquel did work well for me back in the day until I started seeing health issues from the use of it. ( un-reversible health issues) I have been on about every medication known over 30 years. I started cutting pills in half six months ago and continued cutting doses every few months. My sleep had already gone to around two hours per night. It is 4 am and I slept good for a few hours but wide awake once again. This drug will have effects for many months and maybe years after you stop long term usage. My medical coverage has come and gone to many times leaving me with no medications ( I was told I could never stop taking Seroquel by many doctors) to many times to keep playing games with prescription drugs. If you use Seroquel for sleep your problems have just started with this dangerous drug. Everyday I am dealing with mania, mind running in circles, confusion and other crazy problems since I stopped using it. Each morning i get up, have a list of things top do, Clean house, work in yard, wash car, paint and anything that keeps my mind and body busy. Great example: installing a garage door, This took several weeks of trial and error. Then the garage door opener, week and a half. Very proud I was able to complete and is perfect. I normally would finish a project like this in a few days or less. I do fine as long as I am doing something even though I wonder in and out of the project but I am completing the projects. I cant let my mind sit idle or it starts to run in circles. Many people will disagree with the way I am stopping this Seroquel or drug therapy. I have been to so many doctors, clinics etc. over the past 30 years with nothing but drugs and more drugs. Also high blood pressure and body fat is going away now so I am sticking with the plan that is working so far.. Before Seroquel I never had any of these issues I have now. Stay busy and avoid many of these issues and avoid being around others until your mental state is better. Seroquel will make you sleep but in the long run it will be a dirt nap. Take it one day at a time.
