Hi! I have been slow tapering from Seroquel for the past 15 months and have been going through hell the whole time. I am totally paradoxical to both it and Remeron which were given to me for my chronic insomnia. They do anything but help me sleep, in fact they cause burning, tingling, numbness, vibrations throughout my body and head, adrenaline surges, heart palpitations, depersonalization/derealisation, sensory overload, anxiety/panic attacks, fear of going insane from the 24/7 lack of sleep, and the list goes on. This past month I have attempted to speed up my tapering as the constant lack of sleep is slowly killing me. I was down to 7.25 mg. per day (I get my medication compounded) but was having such horrendous symptoms I decided (against my better judgement) to up dose it to 10.25 mg. per day. I am still feeling horrendous and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions I can get that might help make the rest of this withdrawal a little easier. I have basically tried everything under the sun I can think of. When it comes to supplements it appears that whatever I take only makes me much worse.

Has anyone else on here had horrendous chronic insomnia from being on Seroquel and Remeron? I have read that the first time you go on it, it will help you to sleep. It did this with me. As this is now the second or third time I have been on it, it isn't helping one bit. I think it is because both it and Remeron have a antihistamine base which are know for helping to sleep for a few days then turning around and having the exact opposite reaction. I need to get off both these poisons a.s.a.p. before they kill me. I had another medication do that to me in the past (Atarax) and since then I can't touch any antihistamines. I am having to go through this all by myself as my family of origin shunned me four years ago and haven't spoken to me since and have basically left me to die on my own. I also suffer from Lyme Disease, Bartonella, Babesia (co-infections of Lyme), hypo-hyperthyroidism, gluten intolerance, adrenal exhaustion just to name a few. I would truly like to speak with anyone having any experience similar to mine with these horrendous poisons.

Thank you.
