Please update your signature to include the dates and rate of your seroquel taper. Use this link: Account Settings – Create or Edit a signature. Your CNS is not broken. It will heal in time. You're wise to hold until your symptoms have improved. The symptoms you describe--apathy, sexual, fatigue--are typical withdrawal symptoms. What is withdrawal syndrome. Brain Remodelling Video: Healing From Antidepressants - Patterns of Recovery Daily Checklist of Antidepressant Withdrawal Symptoms (PDF) The Windows and Waves Pattern of Stabilization When you're ready to start tapering the seroquel again, we recommend tapering by no more than 10% of your current dose every four weeks. Why taper by 10% of my dosage? The following link is specifically about tapering seroquel, including ho to get the nonstandard doses needed for a 10% taper. Tips for tapering off quetiapine (Seroquel) We don't recommend a lot of supplements on SA, as many members report being sensitive to them due to our over-reactive nervous systems, but two supplements that we do recommend are magnesium (glycinate is a good form) and omega 3 (fish oil). Many people find these to be calming to the nervous system. Magnesium, nature's calcium channel blocker Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) Add in one at a time and at a low dose in case you do experience problems. This is your introduction topic -- the place for you to ask questions, record symptoms, share your progress, and connect with other members of the SA community. I hope you’ll find the information in the SA forums helpful for your situation. I'm sorry that you are in the position that you need the information, but I am glad that you found us.

Many people would feel fatigue on this drug regimen. Please read up the adverse effects of the drugs you're currently taking. When people go on and off psychiatric drugs, or experience withdrawal symptoms, their nervous systems can become sensitized to the drugs that they continue to take. Of the symptoms you've reported, only the sleep disruption that has persisted from your skipped benzo dose seems related to withdrawal. Or, the sleep disruption may be because your nervous system has become sensitized to too many "brakes", meaning drugs that are supposed to slow your nervous system down. Lorazepam and Seroquel are both "brakes". My guess is you are taking TOO MUCH of these brakes, and your nervous system doesn't like being pressed down so much. So it keeps you awake. This is called a paradoxical reaction. It appears sexual dysfunction is your most important concern. This can be an adverse effect of long-term Seroquel and benzos. Why are you taking these 2 drugs since 2021? What do you want to do now? @Shep @Frogie please consult on benzo use and schedule. This is not medical advice.

Moderator Frogie Posted March 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2023 @jeffelmexicano You will want to taper by 10% a month on the lorazepam. Do you have a scale? I can give you some information on using a scale to do this. Using a scale to weigh and measure doses PREVIOUS medications and discontinuations: Have been on medications since 1996. Valium, Gabapentin, Lamictal, Prilosec and Zantac from 2000 to 2015 with a fast taper by a psychiatrist. Liquid Lexapro Nov, 2016 to 31-March, 2019 Lexapro free!!! (total Lexapro taper was 4 years-started with pill form) ---CURRENT MEDICATIONS:Supplements:Milk Thistle, Metamucil, Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin D3, Levothyroxine 25mcg, Vitamin C, Krill oil. Xanax 1mg 3x day June, 2000 to 19-September, 2020 Went from .150 grams (average weight of 1 Xanax) 3x day to .003 grams 3x day. April 1, 2021 went back on 1mg a day. Started tapering May 19, 2023. July 28, 2023-approximately .87mg. Dr. fast tapered me at the end and realized he messed up. Prescribe it again and I am doing "slower than a turtle" taper. 19-September, 2020 Xanax free!!!

Moderator Frogie Posted March 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 5, 2023 Yes you would take 10% off the 12 am dose each month until you are done with that dose. Then starts the next dose with 10% cuts each month, and then the last dose. You need to hold though if you have any withdrawal symptoms. Why taper by 10% of my dosage? The slowness of slow tapers Brass Monkey Slide Dr. Joseph Glenmullen's withdrawal symptom checklist PREVIOUS medications and discontinuations: Have been on medications since 1996. Valium, Gabapentin, Lamictal, Prilosec and Zantac from 2000 to 2015 with a fast taper by a psychiatrist. Liquid Lexapro Nov, 2016 to 31-March, 2019 Lexapro free!!! (total Lexapro taper was 4 years-started with pill form) ---CURRENT MEDICATIONS:Supplements:Milk Thistle, Metamucil, Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin D3, Levothyroxine 25mcg, Vitamin C, Krill oil. Xanax 1mg 3x day June, 2000 to 19-September, 2020 Went from .150 grams (average weight of 1 Xanax) 3x day to .003 grams 3x day. April 1, 2021 went back on 1mg a day. Started tapering May 19, 2023. July 28, 2023-approximately .87mg. Dr. fast tapered me at the end and realized he messed up. Prescribe it again and I am doing "slower than a turtle" taper. 19-September, 2020 Xanax free!!! (total Xanax taper was 15-1/2 months-1-June, 2019-19-September, 2020) I am not a medical professional. The suggestions I make are based on personal experience. Link to comment
