> Cee no but it sounds as if the taper is much too fast for that amount of seroquel. Maybe you should add some back? Phillipa
I agree that a longer tapering period would have likely been appropriate given the size of the dose that was being taken. Seroquel has antihistamine effects, so histamine rebound can occur when the drug is withdrawn. Some people take an antihistamine like Benadryl to help with withdrawal symptoms like insomnia and itching. I have never taken an antipsychotic but may be able to provide additional advice if Cee describes the symptoms in greater detail.
