Get a refill: Seroquel (quetiapine) should be tapered off and only then if both you and your provider agree it is not the right medicine for you. Too sudden withdrawal causes nausea and vomiting, insomnia, headache, irritability and even panic, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. If you cannot reach your own doctor, go to an emergency room and get back on seroquel (quetiapine) and learn how to taper safely.

Seroquel (quetiapine): You need to call your doctor right away & get advise, before symptoms worsen. Wish you well.

Withdrawl: from a higher dose can make you feel bad. Call your doctor and see if they will call you a few in until you can see them. If you cannot get a hold of your doctor occasionally the pharmacy may be able to get your doctor to call in a few tablets for you.
