Is it normal to get quite ill in the evening when stopping Seroquel?

It is not uncommon for people to experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping Seroquel (quetiapine), especially if the medication is stopped suddenly or the dose is reduced too quickly. Withdrawal symptoms can include feeling quite ill in the evening, as well as other symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, and flu-like symptoms. In some cases, more serious withdrawal symptoms can occur, such as seizures or psychosis.

It is important to talk to a doctor or pharmacist before stopping Seroquel to discuss the best way to taper the dose and reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms. They can provide guidance on how to gradually reduce the dose over time to minimize the risk of withdrawal symptoms.
