Posted on Mon, 17 Dec 2018
Question: I have found seroquel to be hard to come off of. I spoke with my doctor and I'm moving back up to my original dose. I' m going up 50mg from 150mg to 200mg. Should I start to lose withdrawal symptoms?

Hello, and thanks for your question.

Yes, by increasing the dosage as you describe, I would expect withdrawal symptoms to remit over the period of the next several days to a few weeks.
