A member asked:
My 89 year old sister has been on saraquel for year 25 mg. they are weaning her off. should you replace it with another medication while weaning off ? are their side effects while coming off if it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please ask the physician who is winning your mom off Seroquel whether or not they feel another medication is needed. Generally, if this medicine is tapered off slowly or not significant side effects, however, there may be difficulty with insomnia. The symptoms or condition she was being treated with may return off the medication.
