Thank you for sharing your experience. Best advice ever to be generous with yourself. Im a couple of weeks off Seroquel after being on for a few years (also BPD). Rebound insomnia is still hanging around, it’s horrific.

I stopped taking quetiapine 3 wks ago, after taking it for over 10yrs. The worst was going hot and cold, and trouble sleeping. Hoping I will start actually feeling my emotions again. That poison numbed me so much, made me gain so much weight which I am now trying to lose

If you think Quetiapine is bad, wait till you try Olanzapine and Clozapine! Everyone who takes Olanzapine piles on weight and most people end up with diabetes, even if you live on spinach and water you will put weight on and I'm talking about 4 to 6 stones. Then you have Clozapine which attacks your white blood cells. Quetiapine is the safer of the 3, I've missed days of Quetiapine and I started developing withdrawal symptoms which were similar to Opiod withdrawal so I understand

I usually watch all these videos and I never seem to comment. I used to be on 400 MG of seroquel and over 1 year I have tapered down to 25 MG. I can do without it for about 5 to 6 days but I tend to relapse due to lack of sleep of increased agitation. I've been off of it for about 9 days now and my headaches have gone away. But I still get sick and gag some early mornings. And I constantly smoke marijuana. It really helps.

Hey brother, hope all is well, are you still off? I had come off seroquel in early 2020, tapered down to 12.5mg than quit from there but it was still so fucking hard, made it 2.5 months before I lapsed back on it due to sleep, slept like 3 hours in 9 days after quitting weed (only thing that helped me quit) and I really wished I hadn't.. So scared to do it again honestly, so scared.. worst withdrawal ive experienced, and I quit booze cold turkey once before..

Seraquel was prescribed for sleep after my husband passed away . Big mistake because it made me gain a lot of weight and because it disrupts the dopamine levels in the brain I became very withdrawn , with zero emotions , not to mention I developed insulin resistance because of this poison . What a horrible drug , and they prescribe it for sleep like it’s candy . An anti psychotic drug should never be prescribed for sleep . I tapered off this poison 5 months ago and it was one of the hardest things I ever went through. I feel liberated from this awful drug and never again .

I was on 300mg Seroquel XR, 2mg Trihex & 2mg Lorazepam I was diagnosed skizofrenia paranoid, and now I am 100% drug free I drank "Saffron" twice a day, for about six months (this medicine is really a miracle) and now I can go to sleep naturally :) My advice is : Drink saffron twice a day (see the guide on how to use it) for about six months, and then try to stop taking that seroquel drugs once for all. When you can't sleep for days and you feel really tired, drink seroquel on lower dose On the first time of my taking psychiatric drugs, I decided to stop taking it once for all, it was pure hell. Then after consuming "Saffron" for six months (while tapering seroquel) I stopped taking it & nothing serious happened (except being unable to sleep well for three days)

I'm on quetiapine currently, the inability to function in the mornings until late afternoon is an absolute killer. I missed a dose the other night and half way through the next day I felt awful, already. But the night I missed that dose, I probably got 2 hours sleep at best and I've never felt better. I'm on the edge of just throwing the stuff in the bin and being done with taking it.

You sould took diazepam to sleep, your brain was frying i bet and it is dangerous, seroquell kill many brain cells, and the coming off will multiply this process a lot, it can mess heavily with your body systems and you could have very high blood pressure after until your body stabilizes. this is not to do alone, again is very dangerous. seroquell is a neuro toxin very addictive and the coming off process can damage your brain and body systems beyound recovery albeit a year on it is not that much. How are you now ? Could you get away from it? Hope you are getting well.

Another Dr prescribed them for pain as she wouldn't give me anything else for pain to sleep through the night. I'm going to get off of this crap somehow. It about killed me last October when I went off cold turkey. I'm gonna try again. There's just nothing to replace it for sleep. Benzos work great if you can get them but they don't work for me as I've been on both. Xanax does hardly anything without the seroquel. Sadly. I wish I had more support getting off of them in my own way. I feel dead inside since I started taking them again. So desperate for sleep. I hate psych drugs except for the benzos which they don't want to give anymore. Id say I'm taking 300 mgs now. Makes me sick. So hard to get off then I just needed sleep so bad.
