hey. Seroquel withdrawal can suck; I imagine having stimulating meds on board (the EMSAM) complicates the tapering process a bit. The thing is, though, at 25mgs/day, Seroquel is really an extremely over-priced anti-histamine. It seems to me that you could get comparable results by switching to hydroxyzine (vistaril, atarax--you'll need an rx; its an old, cheap medication) or even by taking some Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Once you're not having seroquel withdrawal probs anymore, you can start dropping the antihistamine.
