I am on many psych meds. My pdoc recently told me that my Seroquel is not at a therapeutic dose but merely for sleep. I dont have any trouble sleeping. Ive weaned down to 100 from 150 for 10 days now and no problems at all. How long should I go before I go down to 50?

The pdoc didn't give you a schedule for that?

Ideally your pdoc and you should agree on a schedule. Failing that most taper schedules I've seen call for decreasing every 10-14 days. But as a % cut going from 100 - to 50 is a pretty big drop. Could you go from 100 to 75 and then down to 50, then 25 then 0?
Just my thoughts. splitimage |

I only used seroquel for sleep at 200mg. I went from 200mg to zero. I had no issues but everyone is different
