Hi, I'm Melissa H

Hi @Melissa H, welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your husband's struggles. He's fortunate to have such a caring and supportive wife. Is his doctor in agreement that the risks are outweighing the benefits of this drug? Will he/she support a taper off of it? I assume his doctor is aware of the issues that it is causing your dear husband? Even though 5 weeks hasn't been too long, it's still long enough for his brain to have adapted to its presence. This is not official medical advice, but a suggestion would be to start with a conservative reduction such as 10% and wait a few weeks and pay close attention to how he responds. @Based, do you have any suggestions for what tapering schedule would be best in this delicate situation? I will also tag other @Seroquel members so they can off their input as well. https://taper.community/drugs/seroquel https://taper.community/resources/blog/quetiapine-seroquel-withdrawal-guide https://taper.community/thread/ecea5d5c-ab7a-43f4-80b2-994bbee9fbf8

The tapering goes well so far. From 50 mg Quetiapine to 22 mg without problems. From now on we are planning to reduce 1 mg a day ( a tapering plan by the Regenboog apotheek) and stabelise a few days if necessary. To obtain 1 mg Quetiapine we make a suspension.
