What do you know about Seroquel?

[Andy823]

My wife was put on the generic Seroquel in January. It was supposed two 25mg in the morning and one at night. She slept well, but the next day after taking her pill, things would go down hill. Tired all the time, 4 or 5 naps before bedtime, then start over with the night time pill. She was not doing well so I talked to the Dr. about her just taking it in the evening. The Dr. OK'd it so we stopped the morning pill. It helped, but she still was tired, and mood swings, and was not really doing a whole lot better. Better than when she was taking two a day though.

Well sometime around mid September she stopped taking it, cold turkey. It was not very good. She was going through withdrawals, I have had experience with withdrawals from drugs and alcohol, so I know all about it. It's been over a month now, and she has calmed down, she still has problems sleeping, still walks around sometimes in a daze talking to herself, but she has more OK days now than when she first stopped.

I read online that Serqoquel has caused a lot of problems over the years, and coming off of it is not easy. I was jut wondering if anyone here has had experience with the drug, and if they stopped how it affected them.
