Alrighty, so I'm tapering off Seroquel XR at a slow pace...recently came down another 50mg. (Began at 350mg, now at 250mg). I had always assumed that because Seroquel XR made me more tired, it would also make me more depressed. I was looking forward to feeling less depressed.

Well, now I feel MORE depressed. What the heck is going on? Anyone else experience this when coming off Seroquel?

Seroquel is one of the few drugs that is supposed to help bipolar depression. Even though it makes you tired, youred tired and less depressed!

I guess I'd just assumed that tired = depressed, because when I am depressed I usually feel tired. Hopefully this feeling goes away soon.

hopefully what your feeling only lasts for a little while.... when i was comming off of seroquel xr i was on a high dose i also felt more deppressed you just got to keep on trucking i guess is all i can say, if things keep getting bad TELL YOUR DOC or PSYCH right away, i mean its going to feel that way but it shouldnt last forever.... if your having troubles dont feel shy to private message me, i know what your going through i was on a huge dose and had to be taken off of it, cause i was abusing it (to the point where i HAD to be hospitalized)
