ok---seroquel is an atypical neuroleptic. basically a 'super-benzo'---zyprexa info sheets 1st termed it a 'thio-benzodiazapine'. if you've been on seroquel, even weeks, and if the dose is high enough to show effects, IMHO you'd best taper, as you must with a benzo---or you will see trouble. maybe your dr. knows something very new. or has a plan, such as countering the probable precipitation of even acute psychosis, in many, with a high dose of a non AP benzo for a month. then a short taper off it. but if you just quit and go bonkers and this dr. says, 'see there---you need this med'? walk. this data is all over the net---'supersensitive psychcosis', etc. look.
the usual sudden withdrawal (save NMS crisis)of any major or minor tranqilizer may be lethal. so people will be peeved with that statement of fact. poor, poor scary me! and i don't have time for 'spell-check.'---there's more to this, if you have interest, post back-----
