I stopped "Cold Turkey" and have not had any residual effects. It's been 5 days now

At that dosage I would recommend halfing the dosage for 1 week and then half again for another week. Try that. It all depends on how long you have been taking Seroquel and the dosage. I was able to wean down from 400 to 300 in a week, and from 300 to 200 in two weeks. After that I suggest halving the dosage until you get down to 25 mg, then see how you do. Side affects that are common are stomach cramps, loss of appetite, headaches, sleeplessness, anxiety, and RLS.

Will 100mg of seroquel put you to sleep?

Seroquel should ONLY be taken according to your prescription. A person on Seroquel needs to take their meds the way that they're supposed to, in the time frame that they are supposed to, to keep a steady level of the drug in the body. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, and not a sleep aid. The important thing is, if you are on Seroquel, you need to take it properly. Don't just stop taking it; you need to be "weaned off". And if it is not your prescription, you should NOT take it. Anti-psychotic drugs taken by a person who doesn't need it can be dangerous, including having long-term permanent effects such as Tardive Diskinesia. Actually Seroquel IS prescribed by a lot of doctors as a sleep aid. It's an anti psychotic medication that can be used to help you sleep. I have a prescription for it as a sleep aid myself actually.

I take 800 Mg of Seroquel what are the effects if you just stop taking it abruptly?

It will probably induce a manic episode, and make you feel like your on withdrawal from hard drugs. DON'T. 800 MG is an elephant dose, so there is probably a reason you need to be on it. Seroquel is a really serious drug, its not something you should just "stop taking". Definitely needs to be tapered off of.


Is it hard to quit taking seroquel suddenly or 'cold turkey' after you have been taking it for 3 years?

Bad idea. Depending on the amount you are taking, how long, and why there can be a number of withdrawls. Seroquel is a strong medicine, it is possible to quit, but this is best done slowly under the supervision of a psychiatrist.


What if I accidentally took Seroquel?

How much did you take? It will probably make you pretty drowsy. If your breathing is too slow you need to go to the hospital.


How do you taper off 25 mg of seroquel?

You shouldn't have to taper off of 25mg of Seroquel... it's a VERY low dosage, but if you are using it for sleep and have trouble sleeping when you stop taking it, try cutting it in half and fourths until you don't need it anymore.


Can you take seroquel?

I can't say whether or not you should take it because I am not a doctor. But I lost my health insurance and I have been taking expired Seroquel for months and I am doing fine. My roommate's father was a doctor and she said the strength wears off so you may need to increase your dosage but so far I have kept my dosage the same and am doing just fine.
