Northcoastboy: Stopping benzo withdrawal and starting Seroquel withdrawal

Recommended Posts

Thank you both very much.

I will search and read!

 

Still never found anyone who has switched from 150mgs SeroquelXR to immeadiate release and written a full taper history.

 

I have excepted I probably won't find one.

 

I have believed all the horror stories about Seroquel.

I have not suffered any side effects so far.

 

My benzo taper wasn't too bad. Maybe helped by Seroquel and Mirtazapine.

 

Thanks again

Seroxat 1994 then Citalopram 2000- 2014 quit Citalopram CT and descended into Hell with PAWS pollydrugged on following Mirtazapine 30 mgs Seroquel 150 mgs 

 Ativan 2 mgs June 2015 switched from Ativan to 20 mgs Valium Tapered-down slowly.

As of 15th March 17, I am benzo free. took 20 months to taper 20mgs Valium.

Seroquel tapered off 125mgs from 19 Sept 17 to 26 Dec. 17

current med 30mgs Mirtazapine

Just tried a 25mg cut.

i was on 150mgs XR taken at night.

switched to 100 XR and 25mgs IR.

Felt great for 7 days, slightly bloated.

Day 8 and 9 stomach became distended and extremely painful.

Couldnt eat and just sips of water.

Could hardly walk due to pain.

Didnt sleep at all.

 

Last night took 150mgs XR

slept ok

Today appetite returning. 

Slept ok

Belly still distended and sore to touch.

 

I know I will have to do a slow taper.

Did it with Valium.

What do you think I should do next?

When to take the IR tablets?
