Buffybiff One question at a time...

[Buffybiff]

Hi, 

 

Would appreciate your thoughts....

 

Unfortunately, 30 yrs ago,  I had post partum depression and was then 

diagnosed with unipolar depression and OCD.  Did therapy for my OCD. 

 

After a 21month taper,30yrs use, I have been Klonopin free for two months now. 
No withdrawl symptoms🤷🏻‍♀️  
I think it’s because I am polydrugged??
I take Prozac 25mg,  Seroquel 12.5mg &  Tradozone 18mg. 
 

I want to get off the seroquel and Tradozone because when I went into tolerance of benzo,  PsyDoc prescribed the two. I’ve been on them 2 yrs. 

 

My questions are how long do I wait before I can taper off the seroquel and the Tradozone?  
 Is it possible being polydrugged has made me avoid withdrawl symptoms from my benzo?  
 

Also, I take insulin and metformin for my diabetes I have had for 30 yrs.  Did metformin play a role with no benzo withdrawl?? 
 
Thank you. 
Bb
