You have a wonderful husband who cares about you.

I was on an antipsychotic for over 4 years...this time.
I'm not putting that stuff back in my body - I take 2 mood stabilizers and an antidepressant, plus a tranquilizer/anti-anxiety medication.
I'm not unstable - I just need to get some rest.
As far ask going on one briefly till you feel better for you...i don't really know - that is up to your individual doctor.

Hi Jadedmoonbeam,
Glad to hear that you have tapered off seroquel and the weight it provided. Losing sleep can be rough though.
I've started to taper off Seroquel as well. I'm down 25% in dosage, and I have had not my usual 8 hours sleep since. I tend to wake up and fall asleep many times throughout the night.
Anyways, hope things get better for you soon.

Hi Furious George-
Glad you are tapering - get your sleep in check as soon as you can so you don't go through what I'm dealing with!
