need seroquel withdrawal
i once withdrew from risperidone very easily.
withdrawing from seroquel is extremely difficult. I am on 150mg. As soon as I reduce my dose, mixed states appear like anger, want to kill or revenge.
Can one tell me how to reduce my dose successfully. Any supplements, regimens, diet, etc...
please help in this. Greatly appreciated.

Sorry I cant help further, I understand. Im on a non addictive sleeping pill and have been trying to stop taking it but I think I am pyschologically addicted, Im coming off Ziprazadone and Lamical now and I think the thought of being med free is having a pyschological effect on my mood it has certainly made me anxious and moody with my husband lol good job hes supportive! Sorry again that I cant help, good luck :)
thank you
in fact this is exactly what I do.
After my 2nd mania (due to an AD) which i managed to stop by 300mg, I started to reduce my dose trying to go back to 50mg (my old dose before the mania).
NO success unfortunately. All i could manage is to reduce the 300 into 150mg so far. Sometimes I am on 125 by cancelling one pill (i take pills in 25mg two pills at a time 3 times) but then after a few days my anger begins so i upped it to 150 again. Sometimes I reduce it to 150-half a pill=137.5. Again I had to go back to 150.
The reason is that seroquel has bad side effects. I put on 20 kilos (44 pounds). I strive for sugar. Other side efftcs...
Someone here wrote valerian root, passion flower, etc...JUST if i can reduce this *******, I will be happy. OR something to reduce my anger provided it isn't another med with worse side effects like valproate (depakote) , lamictal etc...
I keep trying and trying so I need help.
many thanks

N.B: perhaps it's psychological also. Had i been taking one pill at 150 i wouldn't have felt so bad. As i take 6 pills a day making me feel worse, but it's also the side effects. the reason for 6 pills is the short half-life of seroquel. Strange, one i stopped risperidone cold turkey without even feeling anything
