Hey Guys!
I was prescribed seroquel for a purported mood disorder. Yes, it helped initially, but after doing research, consulting with my doctor - we started a taper plan.
I was on 300-350mgs for about 7 years. I have officially worked my way down to 150mgs.
I'm sick of being unmotivated, exhausted all the time and lethargic to the point of not really caring about life. Instead of being an active participant in life, I feel like a passive observer.
Did any of you feel better once you got off seroquel? I want more energy and I want better ADHD med efficacy. I know it's a lot more complex than the supposition that Dopamine antagonism = less available dopamine = less motivation drive.
Anyway, I need to be free of these antipsychotics. I was rather disturbed by the medical consequences long term seroquel use can produce. Metabolic complciations, thyrpoid issues, diabetes, etc.
I feel like I would do much better with natural sleep. I dont wish to take any additional hypnotics or even melatonin for sleep.
Can this community share their experiences with seroquel tapering?
