Hi @zesta, I moved your question about stopping Seroquel to this existing discussion:
- Getting off of Seroquel: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/getting-off-of-seroquel/

Tapering slowly is the standard advice - "the medication should be tapered with a planned, incremental lowering of the dosage taken over the course of months." https://www.verywellmind.com/seroquel-withdrawal-5114540

However, in your case, you have taken a low dose (25mg) for only 10 days, if I'm reading your post correctly. Tapering for months will not be applicable in your case :-). Did your doctor say you could start with every other day as you suggested?

My Doctor said since I just took it for 10 days at 25 mg. I should just stop it.
Thank you for your response!

I’ve stopped it for three days and the only side effect I’ve had is not to my surprise is insomnia.
