jmncrr Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 bjesti, Is your anxiety due to tapering seroquel, or did you just have anxiety before your taper? Don't you think you are making too big of cuts with your taper. Thank you Been taking paroxetine 20 mg for 20+ years for depression. Taking 300 mg of wellbutrin since October 2015 for adhd and depression. Take fish oil, calcium, and a multivitamin. Started taking risperidone late January 2015 3mg for a misdiagnoses of bipolar. Started tapering risperidone late July 2016. As of late September tapered down to 2mg at 5% a week off current dose. Oct 21/2016 1.58 mg Nov 21/2016 1.26mg No withdrawals so far. Link to comment
Moderator Emeritus scallywag Posted November 10, 2016 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted November 10, 2016 bjesti: Is there a reason you are making dose decreases of 100 mg and 50 mg? (300 - 200 = 100; 200 - 150 = 50) This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.1997-1999 Effexor; 2002-2005 Effexor XR 37.5 mg linear taper, dropping same #beads/week with bad results Cymbalta 60 mg 2012 - 2015; 2016: 20 mg to 7 mg exact doses and dates in this post; 2017: 6.3 mg to 0.0 mg Aug. 12; details here scallywag's IntroductionOnline spreadsheet for dose taper calculations and nz11's THE WORKS spreadsheet Link to comment
