Question by Anonymous: Is it normal to feel exhausted after stopping Seroquel? Are these other symptoms normal?
I have been taking Seroquel for 6 years now since I was 13 because I could not fall asleep at night and I had mood swings as a teenager. I started on a lower dose and worked my way up to 400 mg. I have been on 400 mg for 2 years and before that I was on 300 for most of those other years, so a very high dose. I stopped taking Seroquel cold-turkey on February 1 (a month and 1 week ago) because I no longer need the medication. At first I couldn’t sleep at all and I had nightmares and would wake up in cold sweats. I also had severe headaches, my digestive system didn’t work right, I kept twitching, and it was difficult to breathe. It was severe for about a week and then lessened. Now I can sleep fine, but my problem is, no matter how much I sleep, I still feel exhausted. I have tried sleeping 7 hours, 8, 9, 10, and up but no matter how many hours I sleep, if it’s a normal amount or a lot, I still feel exhausted. It feels like I haven’t slept at all. I still have headaches and my head feels.. heavy. I also feel like a have a permanent mild case of a flu and cold. I am slightly nauseous and have cold-like symptoms like a runny nose and swollen glands. The exhaustion is really alarming me. I was wondering if it is normal to feel this way when getting off of Seroquel? And how long will it take before I start feeling normal again?
