A member asked:
What could happen if you quit seroquel (quetiapine) cold turkey after 2 years at 100mg. what if any symptoms could happen from just stopping taking it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seroquel (quetiapine) : Seroquel (quetiapine) is a mood stabilizer of the antipsychotic type. If you were prescribed it for improving your mood or for your insomnia, most likely stopping it will result in insomnia or mood instability. At higher doses, the anti-psychotic effect is more noticeable. Stopping a medication abruptly is never a good idea, because you may experience rebound of the symptoms. Consult with your doctor.
