Suggest Withdrawal Procedure For Seroquel Prescribed For Insomnia
I have been taking 300 mg Seroquel XR & 2 100 mg Seroquel at bedtime for 4 years & I have gained 50 lbs all while eating healthy with no sodas diet or otherwise tons of water & no appetite at all. I am 54 years old I am wondering how to get off the Seroquel & take something else for my insomnia. I also take 2 2mg Xanax a day.

Hi,
Do it slowly and taper it. Don't stop it immediately as it might not work that way.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshita, Ophthalmologist
