I stopped taking Seroquel last Friday, and continue to manage the withdrawal symptoms from Seroquel quite well, thanks to Ed's suggestion to try Hydroxyzine. I'm taking 25mg Hydroxyzine HCL every morning and at bedtime. Very little anxiety and I sleep pretty well.
This makes me wonder if Hydroxyzine would also benefit those folks who are withdrawing from other meds, like antidepressants. My pdoc referred to Hydroxyzine as a very *benign* med which would indicate it's pretty safe.

Hi Sonya,
It sounds like you're doing well :-))))
25mg morning and night is a common hydroxyzine dose for anxiety.

Way to go!!! I have a question, is this med you both posted about Vistaril? I was given that as well after the Xanax detox. My next goal is to completely get off the 75mg of Seroquel I do take currently compared to the 200mg I took 3 years ago. My vision is becoming very blurry after using that med for a while.
Keep up the good work!
