[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 141381, member: 4845"] Well we decreased the bedtime Seroquel started at 300 mg, to 200 (for 1 mos), then 150 (for 1 mos), then 100 (for 1 mos) and now 50 (for 1 mos). psychiatrist says we could go to 25 (for 2 weeks) then d/c. But if she was having too much trouble sleeping we could do 1/2 25 mg for a time as well. Her previous day time doses were 50 mg at am and 3pm, they were dropped to 50mg and then 25 and then d/c. Our psychiatrist's main concern was really giving her body time to adjust to the lack of the sedative effect and not to cause instant insomnia. Cutting the 25 mg in half couldn't hurt, it would just make the taper slower. [/QUOTE]
