withdrawel symptoms from seroquel

Hi jenbug,

Well maybe you can try to work on deep breathing, meditation, closing your eyes and listening to some meditation music or going for a long walk.

There are things we can learn to do for ourselves to help with our anxiety.  Maybe others can post some of the things that work for them.

I color in coloring books. I know that sounds silly, but it always works for me.  Or watching a relaxing old movie. Believe it or not, when my anxiety kicks into high gear I watch a preschool program on cable called, "Little Bear"...it is so soothing.

Best wishes! 

Oh, there are times when only a xanax will do, but I always try these before I resort to taking a my medication.

Or, maybe you should also just not ween yourself so quickly as your doctor wants you to.  Increase the dosage a little higher of what he is telling you to decrease it by.  This may help too.

Best wishes.

I am doing good on Seroquel but I haven't been drug free for five years and would like to see how I feel. I know the warning signs to get back on my meds now so I kind of just wanted to take a chance. I am adopted but my biological mother suffered with bipolar and anxiety and her anxiety got worse as she got older. I can't decrease the dose slower because the medication only comes in 25mg tablets. That is the lowest dose. I have a stressful job and a stressful personal life. But I would feel empowered to be free of all of these chemicals. I'm just really lost on how to do it safely and without sooooo much anxiety.
