I haven't taken Seroquel before but every single time I either start taking medication or taper off of it there are obsessive dreams/thoughts, and that usually lasts for a week or two. For me it's uncomfortable but manageable. Although I've definitely started meds that I stopped almost immediately because the side effects were too awful.
So, you're definitely not alone in having those dreams/thoughts. If they're too much to deal with I would suggest tapering off. If you can manage it for a couple of weeks I would say give it a try. Some of the most effective drugs I've taken has strange side effects for the first little while, but they usually went away after 6 weeks.
Follow your gut and do what you think is going to be best.
