Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I am going through some detox symptoms as I am going down significantly on xanax xr and seroquel. I am hallucinating some and I continue to have suicidal thoughts. I didn't really tell my psychiatrist about these symptoms and I called her office at about 2am to leave a voice mail. I really don't want to be on these drugs, but I think that I need to. I sleep walk and wake up in other rooms of the house and once outside.
Is this telling me to jump back on the normal regimen of medication? Or should I keep going down even though it is having bazaar effects on me and it's very uncomfortable.

I am going off of Seroquel XR after being on it for over a year and a half and I was at 800mg - then 600mg and for 1 week 400mg, I am now at 200mg - but I am not having any symptoms minus crazy sweating at times.. but that is because I am taking a med in place of it - Saphris and also Seroquel is not my only psych med to begin with..
It is kind of a duh reaction you need meds - but whether you get back on and stay on them is your thing. If you like to feel suicidal and hallucinate then by all means keep doing what you are doing, but if you don't then you know what you need to do. Do we really need to tell you?
