Hi I just have a question and not sure who to ask and also wanted to see if anyone has done this if it's okay and how they felt I recently stopped taken my meds quetiapine 25 mg and sertraline 50 mg I was taken the 25 mg at night and the 50 mg in the morning there both once a day I haven't been on them long , since July they have helped however I wanted to try to take myself off and try other natural things like liquids this one I got from a botanical store it seems to be doing good or either I can't really tell if it is or not because I believe I'm having withdrawal symptoms from me stopping my meds I don't like this feeling it's a constant nausea feeling day and night I feel dizzy too but it's more nausea than anything smh so what I want to know is if starting my meds back is a good idea or not it's been five days now I didn't tell my doctor because I didn't want him to be upset with me or anything smh I don't know what to do I just want this nausea to go away already

Your physician is an ally. Tell him what you are doing & what you are trying. A lot of natural remedies can work well but they may have things like St John’s wort which could interact/alter what you are weaning from. Again, talk ŵith your doctor.

@tsmalls Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Like @marionwilhelm said, your doctor is your ally, and on your side in guiding you to better health mentally and physically. There should be no secrets that you hold back from him/her. You will find that most medications taken for mental health conditions should not be stopped abruptly. If they are going to be stopped, it is done gradually. Can you contact your doctor and explain what you have done, and get some guidance?
