    Are you taking Seroquel as a prescribed medication? What is the drug screen for?

    The half-life of Seroquel is only 6 hours so yes it will be out of your system.

    Can someone please help me. I was on Seroquel Oral 600 mg for sleep. I gained so much weight and just didn't like the med so I went to detox to get off it. It's 5 weeks now and I'm sicker than the day I stopped using it. I haven't slept 3 full nites in five weeks. I can't do anything. I'm hot and cold at the same time, can't go anywhere because I throw up all day the list goes on and on. I don't think I can take another day of this. I feel crazy, I'm just ready to give up. Please any advice on what to do. Will this ever go away and long does it take. Thanks

    I was on Seroquel Oral ror 2 years for sleep. I didn't like all the side effects. The weight gain, the way way I felt the next day. I went to detox to get off it. I seem to be getting worse that better. Its been 5 weeks now and I have sleep about 3 good nites in five weeks. I can't function, can't go anywhere, can't do anything. My body aches and I have terrible shakes, cold sweats, the list goes on and on. I can't take another day of this. I feel I'm going crazy. Can someone please tell me how long this will last and what should I do. My doctor is no help to me. Any advice would be greatly helpful. Thanks..

    Melinda,

    Five weeks is a very long time to experience withdrawal from any medication. Especially, following detox...

    Beside the use for sleep were any other co-occurring conditions diagnosed? In other words were you experiencing insomnia only or was the insomnia linked to another condition?

    Are you currently taking any other medications?

    Yes I was experiencing insomnia. No other co-occurring sleep conditions that I am or was aware of. I also was detoxed off 2 mg of Ativan that I was on for about 13 years. I am no medications at this time.

    In confirmation, the Seroquel dose was 600mg?

    Purpose of the Ativan?

    Is your doctor general practice or specialist?

    Could you also provide your age
