I've been on seroquel for about 2 and a half months.

Anyway, i stopped taking it about 3/4 days ago and still feel as i did on meds. When will i go to how i was before the meds?

Beats me. I've never used seroquel. I'd talk to your doc since some unpleasant side effects from quitting might happen anytime.

My psych is too busy to see me until next month though?

Bad psych! Call and get an appointment or a referral. Maybe think about getting a new psych and going to the ER now.

I used to take seroquel in low doses and had no real withdrawal when I stopped it.

What I do know is that seroquel has a half life of six hours. Depending on the dosage you take, your weight and height, and the way your body absorbs it, it can take 2-6 days to work its way out of your system. Because of the interaction it has with your brain chemicals, it might take longer for you to feel an actual difference when you stop it.

Please call your pdoc and talk to them. They may be able to give you suggestions or info without an appt. xo
