I'm wondering if anyone here has had success with Seroquel. Where it's proven very effective for symptoms while minimizing the side effects, at least to the point of being tolerable and/or worth it. I've had such a hard time on it lately and am fed up, but I'm also afraid to get off of it for various reasons.

I'd also be interested in hearing from people who stopped it due to side effects and were able to successfully transition to another, effective, medication. And if you did this, how did you manage to titrate down the Seroquel without freaking out, how did you balance starting a new med w/lowering the Seroquel...

Thanks, this has become a big struggle for me. I could give a long list of pros and a long list of cons, but it's complicated and it's hard to decide. I'm going to talk to my pdoc about it, but would like to hear from people who have experienced it first-hand -pdocs have research (and the experiences of some of their patients), but here in this forum is the real thing

Thanks for this!
