Hey everyone so I am a first time poster on BL but I have browsed the forums for years. Anyways I have been on antipsychotics for about a year and a half. First I was on Abilify up to 10mg a day. Currently I am trying to ween off of Seroquel. My starting dose was 400mg and bumped up to 600mg. It has been a incredibly painful withdrawal compared to every other drug I have done. I am currently down to 150mgs. I have been extremely paranoid, (I am prescribed it for my paranoid schizophrenia.) but I want to live without this horrible drug. So my question is if there is a life after long term anti psychotic use? My Dr says I need to be on it for life but has reluctantly helped me taper so far. These drugs are horrible and I can't even remember what its like being off of it. Has anyone successfully gotten off seroquel and if so does your brain ever go back to how things were or do these drugs cause more permanent mental side effects. Thanks and stay safe!
