I did stop all at once. I didn't have much of a choice. I was binge eating so much that it had started to seriously effect my health. Stopping seroquel immediately stopped my binge eating. Thank God for that. Fortunately insomnia has not been an issue so far.

Interesting fact that itching is a possible side effect of withdrawal. God these meds are soooo complicated.. I did stop eating dairy and I was okay last night, no itching at all. But that could be the result of maybe the residual effect of the antihistamine I took the night before. Guess I'll know more today, if it was dairy, Itching should not be an issue now. If it still itches, I'll know it's from the withdrawal.

Thanks so much for sharing your perspective. This is what I love about PC, the insight that members have gained into the workings of psych meds and the Knitty gritty of mental illness is so profound. often times I return clueless and uncertain from my docs visits. I end up finding and getting the answers with the help of fellow members of PC.
