Q: What would happen if you stopped taking seroquel (300 mgs) cold turkey?
In my experience, after 1 or 2 days without Seroquel, I experienced what I would call flu-like symptoms. My ears buzz and I feel a little disoriented and confused. I would recommend that if you are taking it, don't even consider stopping without a Pdoc's advice.
Darlene,
Basically you'll be really sorry. I did once because I was in a part of the world where they couldn't get my meds to me (not seroquel though) and during the week I had to wait for my meds to be sent from the U.S. I crashed pretty darn hard even though I had been doing GREAT up until then. A bunch of other side effects too. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!!!
