For the last 7 years I have taken 100mg of Seroquel at night and 4mg of Klonolpin/Paxam. I have weaned myself of Paxam and stopped taking it altogether two nights ago. Each time I have drooped the Paxam I have had very mild withdrawal affects that normally pass after 10 days.
What has distressed me a lot over the past couple of months is my lack of ability to function and to remember things. I 'lost' my house keys. I 'lost' my car keys. I go into shops that I think I have made orders at only to find that I am in the wrong place. My driving has taken a downward dive and this week I backed into a pole. I am disappointed with even how i park my car now. My brain just feels like it's in a fog. I forget so much. Anyway my episodes this week with my brain have finally given the motivation to take the last small step off Paxam. I also intend to stop my Prazosin because the side affects from that outweigh the benefits. I am determined to get off 100 mg of Seroquel and intend to start dropping it when the Paxam has gone from my system. About 3 weeks. Getting to the point of all this........ I just googled getting off seroquel and the reports on that are horrid. Itchy skin, headaches, flue like symptoms, insomnia blah blah blah. Does anybody have some good advice for breaking free of Seroquel?. My P'doc says its not as addictive as Klonolpin,,,,, but reading all that stuff on the internet does not fill me with joy. I need hope. I need to know that I haven't wrecked my brain for life. I need my brain back. Encouragement anybody????? Last edited by possum220; Jul 23, 2015 at 10:20 AM.. |
