ITCHING!! Holy cow!! I am weaning myself off seroquel, and as soon as I dropped 25mg, I broke out in a 24hr full-body itch! I'm weaning myself off it because the cardiac side effects were awful!! Racing heart, high blood pressures, shortness of breath... I gave it a good two months, and the cardiac effects got worse instead of better. Now the itching... unbearable!!

Hi,

How long did your itching take to stop? I have just come off Seroquel 5 days ago and am itching like CRAZY! I would love to know how long this torment will last. Seroquel is a bad drug in my opinion.

I am wondering the same: how long does it take for the itching to subside when stopping seroquel. I have been off of it now for about 9 nine days and the itching is unbearable. Has anyone tried or know of anything to counteract the itching other than going back on seroquel which is not an option for me...HELP!!! ANYONE!!!
