A member asked:

Are there any risks to being suddenly taken off of depakote or seroquel (quetiapine) instead of weaning off of them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Kevin Nasky answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes, many: There are rebound symptoms that can occur with sudden discontinuation of either medication. Do not suddenly discontinue either of them. Taper off according to your physician's instructions.
