If a doctor/psychiatrist prescribes Seroquel do not accept if it is just for short term. If it's for long term its probably is fine!

I have been off this drug for 4 days and it has been pure HELL!! I wake up everyone morning dry reaching, extreme anxiety & diarreha among other things.

I am still on Zoloft 100mg which doesn't seem to be helping at all at the moment I don't know whether this is because I'm withdrawing from Seroquel XR 50mg or I need to be on a higher dose I'm just so paranoid these withdrawals are never gunna go away!!

I still don't know if these side effects are normal I can't get in contact with my doctor I'm just going out of my mind!

Wikipedia reports this-
"Withdrawal symptoms reported to occur after discontinuation of antipsychotics include nausea, emesis, lightheadedness, diaphoresis, dyskinesia, orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, insomnia, nervousness, dizziness, headache, excessive non-stop crying, and anxiety."

I used an atypical antipsychotic Olanzapine/Zyprexa in the past and coming off of it was easy. The withdrawal will stop sooner or later.
