hi ed, how r u? im currently stopping the tranxene 15mg cold turkey after 8 months twice daily, and i feel more like myself at this moment but im scared. im want not to stop seroquel entire, i want to take 100 mg twice daily, because at that dose i felt good now im on 400mg before bedtime and 100 mg at morning, its sedative.
ED IS reducing 50 mg a week safe like 350mg then second week 300 mg or can i do it faster? PLEASE I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON THISmy nystagmus is worser but i feel at this moment much better because of stopping tranxene 15 mg.
i believe seroquel is causing pannick attacks while combining it with seroxat.

> Seroxat is often very effective for panic disorder. It doesn't usually 'poop out' so long as your take it regularly on a daily basis. Be sure to take it at the same time every day in order to get the best effect.

> Despite your panic attack, Seroxat IS still working! Even while you're taking medication, panic attacks can sometimes happen. Ask your doctor for a few 5 mg diazepam (Valium) tablets, ONE or TWO tablets can be taken *when required* for a panic attack. Diazepam works quickly - it's a good med to carry around with you in case you have a panic attack.

> If you're worried, you could ask your doctor to increase your Seroxat dose to 40mg. 40mg often seems to work a bit better than 30mg for panic disorder.
