Ah, this takes me back to the very beginning when I foolishly dropped Seroquel cold turkey and got serious insomnia, which went away once reinstated. So the main problem with Seroquel is insomnia, either return of it, rebound or withdrawal-produced.

Prozac — 40 mg — 6 months — holding | Zyprexa — 20 mg — 6 years — holding | Depakote — 600 mg — 8 months — **tapering** | Buspirone — 20 mg — 8 months — holding | with clinician
