Moderator Emeritus Carmie Posted December 19, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi Amber, Welcome to SA from me too. Please put in your drug signature. Just press on the link ChessieCat gave you. We are wondering when you were on these meds n the dates you stopped, as well as how much you are taking. One of the reasons being, you may still get delayed withdrawals. Maybe not, but if you do, just know that it’s normal. Let’s hope you don’t. How are you dong these days? Do you still have any withdrawal symptoms or are you withdrawal free at the moment. We always love to hear when people are doing well. Sending hugs🤗 Been on APs, benzos, ADs and opiates, all for chronic pain. Had severe Akathisia in the past that made me suicidal. Still on Seroquel. 2019:➡️ March10=7.25mg ✔️April17=7.0✔️June5=6.75✔️ July14=6.50✔️Aug28=6.25✔️Oct10=6.20 ✔️ Oct21=6.0✔️Dec16=5.80 ✔️ 2020➡️Jan 21=5.60✔️April2=5.40✔️May29=5.20✔️Aug14= 5.0 ✔️Sep29=4.80✔️2021➡️ Jan31=4.60 mg✔️April24=4.40mg✔️Jul17=4.30mg ✔️Aug 28=4.20✔️ Oct 11=4.15✔️Nov1=4.10✔️ Nov21= 4.05✔️ Dec13= 4mg✔️ 2022➡️Jan8= 3.95 Jan 31=3.90✔️March2=3.85✔️ April4=3.80✔️June16=3.75✔️July26=3.70✔️Sep2=3.65✔️ Oct21=3.60✔️Dec8=3.55✔️ 2023➡️Jan 26=3.50✔️March 17=3.45✔️ THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, consult a doctor.
