Is it normal to be on 600 mg of Seroquel? I was put on this years ago and have struggled ever since to get off it. I was diagnosed with bipolar 2, but I think I was just grieving a child and coping with a narcissistic husband who gaslit me. I'm really trying to come off it, as it has caused weight gain (my ex-husband left me because I was "no longer attractive" - his words) and problems with cognition, and am down to 200mg at night. I am finding the last 200mg so hard to come off and sleep at night. Any clues?

I don't have advice about weaning off of it, but the person above suggested maybe seeing if a pharmacist could make a liquid dose, allowing someone to very slowly get the quantity down. That sounds very logical.
Have you addressed these side effect concerns with your doctor? Curious about options regarding nutritional counseling or switching to a different med that might have similar positive effects but less negative side effects. I've heard Ability is similar to Seroquel in what/how it treats. Maybe it won't have the same side effects?
