I want to get off seroquel (quetiapine) because it numbs me to much how long will it take from the time i stop for it to be no longer having an effect on my brain?

Go slowly: It is important not to stop it suddenly. At most take half of your usual dosage and stay on that for 1 month and continue to decrease in the same manner unless you have symptoms and the see your doctor.
