Hi @Carmen...welcome! Nice to have you here. You did a 20% reduction, so I hope you'll be okay with that. With Hyperbolic tapering it's best to taper no more than 10% each month from the previous month's dose. The doses will get smaller and smaller as time goes on. It's easier on the brain that way. You've been on this drug a very long time, so take things nice and slow. Slower is faster. Here are some links that I hope will help: https://taper.community/drugs/seroquel https://taper.community/resources/blog/quetiapine-seroquel-withdrawal-guide https://taper.community/resources/blog/10-percent-tapering-rule The Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forums has information on how to handle withdrawal symptoms. Keep us posted on how things are going for you! Catina 🩷

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
