The Seroquel Withdrawal Topic Saved My Ass

[celtickarasu]

I found this site when I Googled "Seroquel withdrawal." This wasn't a current topic, but it helped me SO much I want to show appreciation anyway. I've been switching from Seroquel to Latuda because of massive weight gain. I was on 300 mgs of Seroquel. My pdoc had me keep that, then go on 40 mgs of Latuda for a week. Then he had me cut the Seroquel to 150 mgs for a week. I didn't have problems with that jump. Then he wanted me to cut the Seroquel all together. I got dog sick, didn't sleep for 3 days, and emailed him frantically at 4:30 in the morning. He came back and said I would have to stay on 100 mgs of Seroquel to sleep. Well then I found this site and saw so many people had the same problems and cut down their doses by smaller steps. Now instead of being stuck on Latuda AND100 mgs of Seroquel, I have gotten down to 35 mgs of Seroquel and have been able to sleep. I have lost a couple of pounds already, and tonight is my first night of trying no Seroquel at all. Here's hoping I don't flip out again. Thanks for everybody's advice, even if it wasn't directed towards me.
