Even with fairly slow tapering to get off Seroquel, I've had to restart it because withdrawal symptoms were so debilitating. My max dosage was 50mg. I reduced by half every week until I was down to 6.25mg. Anxiety, headaches, nausea, fatigue became unbearable. Yesterday I returned to 25mg. Pdoc said this morning he doesn't know if symptoms are withdrawal. He suggested I stay on 25mg for 3 more days then start tapering from that again. I want off this drug! (I'm on no other meds.)
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid withdrawal symptoms from antipsychotics?
