Seroquel Is Working For Me But I Know I Should Get Off It. Advice Please! (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Hi,

Im a 23yr old female, have been taking Seroquel for about 2 months now. I had anxiety, racing thoughts, overthink, and couldnt sleep some nights, so my doctor prescribed me this. After a breakup and miscarraige it helped me get my life back together, I can think so clearly now and am so much happier within myself. It has stabilzed my moods! I want to get off it because the side effects I have read scare me - diabetes, insomnia etc + the groggy mornings are hard but do-able. Soo last night I didnt take it, had an OK sleep, waking up every couple of hours but this morning I have anxiety back and dont know what to think. Is it possible you can get psychologically addicted to it? I dont want to stop taking it because its worked wonders in my life, but I know its not good for me and the longer I take it, the harder its going to be to get off it. I am worried if I stop taking it, I will get the anxiety back, overthink everything + the racing thoughts. I dont want to be that unhappy person, I felt like I was crazy overthinking everything!

Any suggestions? This is the only med I have ever taken for this.

Thanks,

yes come off it, I came off it fast 5 days cutting the meds In half there is a half life of 6 hours, every six hours your med reduce them self ( your body detoxes its self)

it will get better day by day
