In reply to Weaning off Seroquel, posted by Rosh on February 22, 2005, at 18:11:23
hey! I'm not a big fan of neuroleptics, so I'd personally recommend getting off the seroquel..but, really, its your call. Do you have a good idea as to which one is causing the most problems? My advice would probably be to get off the seroquel, and if the prozac/wellbutrin combo is causing problems, try an SSNRI (selective serotonin neurepinephrine reuptake inhibitor). New SSNRIs include Effexor and Cymbalta; the older tricylic drugs (elavil, tofranil, pamelor, etc.) seem to have a similar mechanism of action, but have more side-effects....one of the big side-effects being drowsiness.
