I know some people take Seroquel and find it very effective for their disorders. At one point my med practitioner started me on 25mg for anxiety relief and it put me to sleep for, literally 18 hours..... I had to stop taking it because I couldn't function. I'm not sure that you are experiencing the same type of brain zaps that people who miss their SSRI's/SNRI's experience, but it definitely sounds like a plausible side effect for the Seroquel. All I suggest is that, if you are weening off of it that you tell your practitioner so they can help monitor things.

Keep us posted if you like, and good luck!!
Thanks for the advice!
I started at 50mg and then went up to 100mg. After about a week on the 100mg dose is when I started getting the yucks.
