Hello,
SEROQUEL ( QUETIAPINE ) is an antipsychotic drug and also used as antidepressant.
Headache,ringing in ears,inability to sleep,nervousness,irritability are the common symptoms of withdrawing the drug.
Ideally the drug should be weaned gradually over a period of few months but it depend upon your treating doctor who knows best about it.
Although the withdrawal symotoms are meant to subside in 2-3 weeks but it depends upon individual to individual and may take many months also.
Thanks
