I persuaded my treatment team to lower my qutiapine from 900 mg down to 600 mg two days ago. Today I got my 500 mg Clopixol LAI. By my next appointment in 3 weeks I’ll persuade my treatment team to lower the qutiapine to 300 mg in 3 weeks.
Then I’ll keep the LAI and use the 300 mg Qutiapine as a sleeping pills.
Last remark should be that I wait for my treatment team to give my actions GREEN.light
before I act.

I consider to persuate my treatment team to lower my dose of seroquel to 450 mgs from tomorrow because that it still csuses.cognitive issues.
I reconsidered and realized that I was moveing to fast so I keep my 600 mgs qutiapine ir
If your titrating down on psych meds go slow. Not a good thing to drop quickly and cognitive issues can be syndrome itself and not really the meds. It’s hard to say but I have always been about better function and take that risk…sometimes it’s worked well and sometimes it’s failed miserably. It really is a craps shoot as we don’t know the outcomes.
roge I had the idea of titrating down my seroquel to Zero because of bad cognition. I don’t think that anymore. To me it’s a victory to come down from 900 mg qutiapinr to 600 mg…After 30 years of suffering I’ve come down to a medium dose of antipsychotics. I don’t think that I can improve my cognition by lowering any of my two antipsychotics without worsening my psychosis very badly.
@columbus I hope this lowering of seroquel helps you. Lots of luck to you! Reducing the dose very slowly should aid you in this process of reducing.
When I was on seroquel I took 800 mg most of the time I was on it. It is a helpful medication.
Thank you plant I guess that the only reason why I can lower meds so much is that I’m aging. When I was younger I was in the same situation as you I was on 3 antipsychotics like you so it was quit hard. The only thing I will say to a young beautifull Lady like you is that time is on your side because in the near future there will come new novel treatments for schizophrenia which are so much better than the treatments of the present.

Well it didn’t go so Nice and easy as would.have liked so I raised the Qutiapine to 750 mgs yesterday.
It seems that I was moving to fast. The problem is that I don’t hear or think anything unusual but I have thoughts about persecution from people outside my apartment I really don’t know if that’s true. I’m never going back on 900 mgs Seroquel but I would accept a raise with 50 mgs to 800 mgs max.
you see when I go abou 800 mgs I loose my ability to speak loud and clear.
I guess a little experimenting is needed to find the best dose. Best of luck
I’ve settled on the max approved dose for hard to treat Schizophrenia 800 mgs. At least I guess that I still can make myself understandable
