Saidshel16: taper quetiapine


Saidshel16

Recommended Posts

I have a question .

i take quetiapine 150mg (slow release)

and i want to know if i can taper from the slow release ?

can i cut up the slow release or i should switch to immediate release to taper ?

i know people who are tapering from slow release .

im worried about the short half life of quetiapine , is that meam that i should take my dose twice a day to avoid withdrawals if i am on immediate release or i cut the slow release ?

i also know people who take the immediate release once a day for years with no issues .
