So a little less than a week ago, I had to go off of my Seroquel cold-turkey. I had previously been taking 25mg morning and night for almost a year. It wasn't by choice, but instead a combination of insurance issues, my psychiatrist from home not being able to prescribe out of state, and the psych services department at my school being full of people who have NO right to be practicing. But basically... I've been experiencing a lot of the withdrawal symptoms I've read about. Mostly the nausea and insomnia, along with a hardcore self-injury episode 2 nights ago after a good few weeks without relapsing. The weird thing that I haven't found ANYWHERE is that, even if I forget it for 2 days or something, my extremities start to go numb randomly. If I forget just a few pills, it's along the lines of inconvenience when driving, but yesterday my foot was so far gone that I tried to stand up off my bed, fell over and almost cracked my head on a chair. Is this... a thing that happens because of seroquel? It seems to be the common denominator here but I don't know so I thought I'd poke at other people about it. For context, I'm also on 900mg of lithium and 12.5 of paxil. |
