"seroquel helped my mental status but i couldn&#039;t take being tired all the time and the weight gain was ridiculous even with eating healthy and working out six days a week. to get off of it you have to taper so slow. when i dropped from 12.5mg to 0mg i went through terrible withdrawals way worse than stopping opiates. throwing up, flu symptoms, i lived in bed and was close to wanting to just quit. i was worthless from day three of stopping to day nine. i woke up on day ten feeling back to my old self and so happy to be free of this stuff they call seroquel"
