Hey...I am having a very hard time getting off of Seroquel. Im 16 months postpartum.

Im worried about staying on too long for health reasons. But the symptoms getting off are insane.

Hi OrionRipley

I took seroquel. I was on it for 12 months (300mg) then came off it over 3 months. How long have you been weaning off it? I found the first reduction in dose the worst. I hope it settles down for you soon, if the effects feel unmanageable do speak to your doctor as I imagine withdrawal is different for everyone and needs close monitoring.

Take care and take it as slowly as you need to.
