seroquel bipolar medication
How long does the withdrawal last seroquel after taking 6 years and after weaning or outside?
I've been taking Seroquel and other drugs for 6 years and have become terribly bad for them. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 15 due to family history, but never had other symptoms of mild depression. After being reevaluated, the doctors realized that I was misdiagnosed. I've been out of all other medications over a year, but Seroquel has been the worst to get rid of him. My dose has been reduced by half for about 2 months and each new was not taken for two weeks. I've been away from it for a week and still have all kinds of withdrawal symptoms (jaw clenching, fever, body aches, interrupted sleep, spasms muscle, stomach problems, itching … whatever.) How long does this usually last? I was told that since I'm in it for so long the withdrawal would be more difficult. Hopefully doctors have researched more instead of being so quick to put me into all of this medication.
It depends on the dose. I was at 1200 mgs for 5 years and the withdrawal was hell. I did it in 6 weeks in a hospital – and I got to 100 ml and last, but it took about 2 months. It was much harder or maybe it was because I had to deal with life at the same time. What I can say is worthwhile. No longer a walking zombie, the world seemed back to life! Sorry about his misdiagnosis. That was also my question, and that still bothers me that I lost so many years when you could have gotten the right help to improve.
