I find your story very inspirational. I’m down to 50mg from 100mg and feel like hell. Easily one of the hardest drugs I’ve had to come off. The nausea and stomach pain is out of this world.
Thank you for posting this. Dr Google has been very unhelpful about how long the withdrawal symptoms last, so it's really nice to hear your experience.
Alexandra Hill I’m glad you found this helpful. I can say that I am 100% free of seroquel now and for the most part, things are going very well. I’m still trying to get used to dealing with my emotions.....which seroquel completely numbs.
WP Murphy so true, the brain doesnt make you feel full , never, so you eat and eat, still hungry a.f .... the main reason to stop for me. But now Reading all this, I feel so much more joy. I want to do stuff again, i was bed resten for 5 years do to fibromyalgia. But it is the serequel thats making me so tired
Day 6 off Seroquel.... The only withdrawal symptoms are 3 hours a night of sleep and some leg pain. So far I consider myself blessed... Off the demon drug Seroquel.
Tracey H Hi my friend... Still in bad shape but moving forward. I’m in a double whammy because of Xanax and Seroquel withdrawals. Sleeping is a problem but I believe in time things will get better.. I do have days where I feel wonderful but short lived. If I’m having a day here and there, that means healing is happening. Thank God..
This video is amazing. I was on between 400mg and 800mg for almost 20 years. On top of many other things. I'm in withdrawl from 100 down to 50. Almost done. It's hell. Anxiety, sweating, blazing hot head, no sleep. Absolutely brutal.
I know this is an old video and not the main focus of your channel, which is cool btw, yet your videos on mental health for some reason really resonate with me. Would love to hear how you have been, and how you manage to stay on the up and continue to be creative and produce content. An update video would be great if you feel inclined to do so. Thank you and sending good vibes your way
Seroquel update, Day 82 off Seroquel... I am totally drug free of any doctor prescribed medications. I do take a Benadryl .25 mg. and 5 mg of melatonin at night for sleep. My insomnia has improved somewhat. Some nights 1 hour but basically 2 to 3 hours. I had have 4 nights of 6 hours of broken sleep. Bottom line is I can think clearer and the fog is slowly going away. The way things are going I believe by Christmas I should be doing well. Seroquel was not helping me. For some it works well for. For sleep it should not be prescribed. Doctors give it out like candy. Just understand it is very powerful and it will take time for your brain to readjust from stopping it. Hang in there. Be strong. God bless you all.
Belinda Rosenheim I am into month eight now. My sleep is still messed up. About 4 to 5 hours a night. Once a week maybe a 2 hour night. It is hard but better then being on Seroquel... I hope you are doing well...
Okay, just want to share.. Today for the first time in nine months my tinnitus stopped. 7 months off Xanax and 7 weeks off Seroquel. It was totally quiet in my ears for over 3 hours. It has returned but if it stopped once it will stop again. It is called healing....
All Things 80s my friend I am improving. You were right about timing. You said I would see improvements by week 6 or 7. My sleep is getting better. I never thought my ears would stop ringing. Thank you for all the positive feedback.. So glad I’m off that evil drug Seroquel.....
All Things 80s well has well has I can be. My thinking has improved, the fog is gone. The sleep still is bad. I had a few good nights of about 5 hours but that didn’t last long. Back to 3 hours a night.. It will get better and better. Not going back on that evil drug..
@@whatistrue0293 Sleep seems to be the hardest part about coming off seroquel. On occasion , I use the sleeping aids you can buy from Walgreens or CVS...........the one I use is called Unisom and that really helps.
lol I know what youre saying about the emotional stuff it's really weird, I'll be talking to someone at work and all of the sudden get emotional. It's really weird except makes you grateful at the same time
After Xanax and Seroquel withdrawals. My heart goes out to anyone coming off a drug... I’m still in withdrawal and wonder if they will ever end. Off all drugs now and scared to take a Tylenol... Ugh..
I have a new understanding for heroin junkies thanks to my seroquel withdrawals. I always thought they were losers, but now I know the physical pain they are in when they try to quit and end up using again.
@adekeyser77 Once I quit Seroquel, I stopped getting up in the middle of the night to eat and I had the energy to actually work out and not spend the day sleeping.
When you say ‘pain’ are you talking about the soreness in the mid to lower back, legs, butt and feet? I took what I hope is my last dose last night but for probably 2 weeks I have been so sore that it feels like someone has beat me in all of the places, even the groin. It’s hard to just lay or sit. If anything is touching me it is magnified. This is rough.
@@AllThings80s I’m feeling it. I’m really stubborn though. Last night was my last dose. It will indeed be the last. I’ve been living with a constant migraine for over 5 years. I can do this. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey with us. I shudder to think about the fact that it took me about 2 months to finally look at the side effects. This med is extremely dangerous. Thank you for helping us.
Did anything ease the stomach pain for you? Should one just quit and get it over with or decrease slowly? Do you think you will ever not have the stomach hurting?
Honestly, the stomach pains were one of the worst parts of the whole withdrawal but because of the headaches, I was taking a lot of Advil and that may have helped with the stomach pain a little. The pain lasted for about six weeks.
I got down to 12.5 mg and was in withdrawal 24/7. There is no easy way out of Seroquel. Just have hope that it will get better. Time is the only cure... I will pray for you..
Hi I just wanted to say that I saw your other video. And I'm sorry that you had an outbreak at your work. But are you going to start anti depression again after all that.
I didn't actually take the antidepressants I was given last year. I've not taken any antidepressants since October 2018 and I feel really good. Those pills were ruining my life.
@@AllThings80s hi. It is exactly as you said horrendous feelings. I also quit using it. But it is also poison. So it needs time to get out of the system.
@@thecrazyvaccinemanbill5445 I would say it took about six weeks for it to completely leave my system. It won't be easy, but once your free of it, you'll feel amazing.
I take gaba suplements now, its an natural pill, use it for my ADD. Still I use 25, mg serequel going to 12,5 tonight, i do sleep. But my energie level is coming back. Thanks for sharing. You gave me the best advice of all you tube stories about serequel. 💫👍🏼
Mate I'm 2 days in and it feels like opiate withdrawal almost identical I'm a state emotionally fck crying ranting talking to myself it's bad cold shakes no sleep
I know exactly what you're going through. It's going to take a while before you feel good again, but once you can get passed these withdrawals, you'll feel amazing. Take care and stay strong.
The reason for the weight gain on these drugs, it’s due to the 5ht2 blocking effect! Histamine blocking. Also causes ímpares thermogenesis. Which leads to weight gain. You’re right though, it can lead to metabolic syndrome, where it just completely shuts down!
I've been off seroquel for 11 months. I feel fantastic mentally, but I have stomach problems every morning. Just wondering if my body cant adjust to sleeping drug free, or its caused by another issue?
Allthings80 I took my seroquel The other night like Monday or Tuesday my heart felt like it was going to pop out of my chest so I just didn't take anymore and yesterday Saturday I was feeling so bad I went to hospital and they didn't help me at all so here today is Sunday and I feel like I'm going to die mind you I'm supposed to take 800 mg but I don't want it no more but feel like I'm dying I'm hot cold hot cold can't sleep eat drink what would you suggest
I started having the fast heart rate a few months ago. It caused me to have a panic attack. When my dose kicked in it was like my heart just took off. It’s really triggered my anxiety and panic now. My doctor acts like it’s not a big deal. I want to just stop cold turkey so bad but I am scared. I take 350mg.
@@AllThings80s I am down to 200 mg a day now I know that sounds like a lot but I was on 800 mg and it's been a couple months soon I will be down to 100 mg and I pray I can do it I also told my Dr what was going on so she changed it to 400 mg but by that time I was already doing 400 mg myself and now down to 200 mg on my own please pray that I can come off this junk in the next month or two
Hi just here to make another now not relevant comment🤣😂🤣heard it got above freezing in the UK...guess you'll all be stripping off & venturing into the icy ocean🤣😂🤣
Actually, it's been just over 9 months since I quit antidepressants and I feel amazing. The doctors are the problem as they just prescribe, prescribe, prescribe. That's why I had to stop taking that stuff cold turkey .......the doctor just wanted to keep giving me different drugs despite me telling her I felt capable of coming off.
Whatistrue 02 totally agree. I have no faith whatsoever that they are doing anything for my best interests. It seems that it’s all about money with them nowadays.
Doctors and Psychiatrists don't know much about the withdrawals! My son had to figure out water titration on his own. Went down 5mg a month, but now that he's at 90mg it's really bad!!! The lower doses are the worst. Sever stomach pains & convolutions. Doctors prescribing crap like this IS the problem!!
