Hi, I'm Kricket

Hi Kricket: welcome to Taper Community. We’re happy to have you here. I’m glad to see that you are tapering one drug at a time starting with Seroquel. I invited you to look around on our website. You’ll find a specific directions on tapering Seroquel. Good luck to you.

Hi Kricket, welcome. I've been on seroquel for 13 years, tried unsuccessfully to get off it 4 years ago because I used a linear taper, not knowing that a hyperbolic taper was really the only way to do it without the miserable withdrawals I couldn't tolerate. At the lower levels you have to make smaller and smaller cuts as you go down, that's the nature of these drugs unfortunately. I use a combination of pills and liquid Q to make the correct dose. What sort of neurological symptoms are you having, and when did they start? And any specific info you want? I'm restarting my own taper now I've finally stabilised at 69mg and a new reduction rate of 5% of the current dose. 7% was too much, but everyone is different as I've found. The book says 5-10% is best for most people, reductions every 2-4 weeks, probably 4 weeks to start. Best, Renee.
