Jeppe: taking Ketipinor (quetiapine) - a safe sleeping aids with no side affects

[Jeppe]

Hi, all, and, hi, M.

 

Thank you for your kind questions.

 

My condition varies much, and, I think it will remain that way until the medicine is stopped. The tapering keeps worsening the quality of sleep. Luckily I get about six hours of sleep and I have no hurry during the mornings, and, I can also try short naps.

 

The worst harm caused by the drug is a disability to think. That is why e.g. writing in a foreign language is difficult and slow. Similarly, simply reading a factual text is sometimes overwhelming. But the drug reduction itself seems to succeed. With these drops of 5 - 10 percent, there are no worse symptoms.

 

Hoping good sleep and sleeping well for you too.

Hang in there Jeppe. Thanks for checking in. Enjoy every bit of sleep you can get.

Here again. I found an article where there is shown a procedure how to support Seroquel withdrawal, https://www.townsendletter.com/article/355-6-patients-wish-to-discontinue-psychotropic-meds/  . In example 2, they present a schedule for that. I find the schedule pretty optimistic, but, I did however add niacine to my daily programme. I already had L-theanine, and, now I will change the amount accordingly.

 

Sleep well

By the way, in January 2023, I was adviced to go according these 6 mg drops every two weeks (but, without the supporting niacine and l-theanine). It was too heavy for me, as I had already made one too hard drop straight from 50mg till 25 mg. After that I have followed the rule to drop only 5-10% monthly.

My body can only tolerate 5% to 10%, I'm currently down to 67.5 mg. Slow and easy, less stress on the body the better. It's easy to want make it a race but I think that can go bad quickly. Hang in there!
