How To Taper Seroquel ? Becoming Allergic To It

Updated

Hi, I take 100 mg of seroquel at night and have for 10 years. I do have the 25 mg tablets as well as the 100 mg ones. I take this for sleep for fibromyalgia.

I itch and itch now after I take seroquel. It is getting worse. Getting bruises from itching on my legs. :'( I have been having a feeling in my throat like itching and tickling. Been through this before with other types of medications. I have had hives from other medications I had to stop before. I am allergic to a lot of medications. As sensitive as I am, surprised I was able to take seroquel this long. I do feel like a zombie the next day. I am getting worse and worse reactions to this medication.

If I get worse, I know I will have to taper really fast. I don't want to. But may have to. I go back to my doctor next month. I am worried if I go now he will just say quit taking it now.

I am just stressed about tapering off this now. But I have to. Any advice? Anyone taper off seroquel?

I have tapered many medications and made it through. I think seroquel is causing me a lot of other issues too. My eyes bother me more and more.

Would a low histamine diet help some? My biggest worry is how fast can I safely do this? Honestly, my doctor has not been much help in the past with things. I can't afford another doctor. Not many choices with my insurance and where I live. I do the best I can.

Thank you. Oh the only other medication I take now is klonopin 1 mg. I divide it up into 4 doses a day.

P.S. I have not been able to work for a long time. Thank goodness for my husband of 30 years who works very hard and family. I have been feeling so bad from seroquel I go out less and less. It is time to stop this I am sure. I am scared of the withdrawal to be honest. I weigh 125 lbs now and I am 50 years old. My weight has dropped to 113 lbs tapering another medication in the past and tapering medications is painful.
