Hi, I'm renee j

I'm in the first month of my second attempt tapering off seroquel. I've been on it 13 years and was prescribed it for insomnia resulting from withdrawal from valium, which was a horrible 8-month ordeal. My first attempt to quit seroquel ended in failure 2 years ago when I arrived at 60 mg from a starting point of about 100, and began to suffer quite bad withdrawal, as I didn't know about hyperbolic tapering or that I could get liquid seroquel from a compounding chemist quite easily to cope at the lower levels. Amazingly I only discovered this while browsing YouTube a month ago! Videos posted by Dr Josef Witt-Doerring from taperclinic.com were very helpful indeed. My doctors and psychiatrist know nothing about safe tapering, but have only given useless and dangerous advice, based on linear reductions. I'm very optimistic about success this time, but maybe I could also give advice that could help others like me, I'd be very happy if I could do that. I'm 70 now, but better late than never, right?

Seroquel — 69 mg — 13 years — actively tapering
