Members responded to someone who was suddenly cut off from their 800mg Seroquel XR prescription due to a delivery stoppage, leaving them without medication and experiencing returning psychosis, no sleep, and high suicide risk. Several members shared their own experiences with stopping Seroquel, with some reporting no withdrawal issues at lower doses while others described serious effects like panic attacks, severe dehydration, and significant weight loss. A recurring theme was encouragement to seek help urgently, with members cheering on the person's plan to attend a Tuesday nurse appointment as a hopeful first step toward getting back on medication.

You go into withdrawel with bad side effects. Rather speak to your doctor about sn alternative medication if the seroquel is helping stay on it. Remember depression and related illnesses are real just like diabetis or hypertension one needs to stay on your meds

When my psychiatrist stopped my Seroquel XR, I started not eating and barely drinking liquid. I was severely dehydrated and lost a lot of weight. I went from to 200 pounds to 117 pounds. The thing is that my psychiatrist immediately put me back on Seroquel XR and gained all the weight back. Right now I weigh 183 pounds. And my psychiatrist will never take me off the Seroquel XR again even though it causes me to gain weight and to have Tardive Diskinesia.
