Hi, I'm ruth

I researched seroquel withdrawal and the peer group came up. I was on seroquel for sleep and developed restlessness. My psychiatrist suggested lowering my dose. I just want to know others experiences.

Hi @ruth, welcome! I'm glad our community is showing up in search results. 😊 How long have you been on Seroquel? If you've been on for some time, you'll want to read about Hyperbolic tapering. You can do this in the Resources section of the site on the left sidebar. Keep in mind that most psychiatrists will advise rapid linear tapers, so don't agree to anything until you can read a bit about safe tapering here. When you get a chance, go to Settings (in the bottom of the left sidebar) and create a Drug History signature for yourself. This will then appear at the bottom of all your posts and gives your fellow members an overview of your current situation. Thank you! We look forward to assisting you with tapering off the Seroquel!

Hi Catina, Thanks for your note. I was on seroquel for sleep for years. I tried going down very slowly but the restlessness came back. The restlessness is something I cannot deal with. I cannot find settings. Thanks, Ruth
