Hi there

I have been looking online for some solid answers on this subject but I can't seem to find any.

Today is day 3 for cold turkey. I was on 200mg seroquel and have been on it for about 2 years. Usually after one missed dose I start to itch but when I take the next dose I am fine.

I have heard many scary things about seroquel withdrawal. One being the itching lasts for ages. I honestly thought it would be gone after a day. I have also heard that when you take an antihistamine it triggers the withdrawal itching all over again. I have heard about the long term effects of seroquel on the body, such as eye damage, predisposition to osteoporosis, and other physical problems. They don't bloody tell you any of this when you start the medication. Obviously you can't believe everything you read online, but I would like to hear from anyone about their experience with seroquel withdrawal.

And feedback will be greatly appreciated

I was on Seroquel for a couple of years at a low dose of 25-50mg. I tapered off slowly by cutting my pills down to smaller sizes. I don't remember experiencing much of an itch but I did notice that I tended to get angry for a few weeks at the smallest of upsets.

I wish you well.
