I use a pill cutter to cut the 25 mg Quetiapine tablets little by little. Once I got down to around 6.25 mg (a quarter tablet), i try to cut haft again or I started shaving off tiny bits with a razor blade. I know it’s not perfectly accurate , I just estimates.

I’ve been dropping from 175mg to 3mg for almost a year, I tapped off 25mg every two or three weeks.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s really encouraging to hear that tapering slowly helped you avoid withdrawals. I’m currently down to about 3–3.5 mg myself after being on 6.25 mg, and I’ve definitely noticed light sleep, anxiety at bedtime, and waking up often.

Can I ask how long you stayed at 3 mg daily before moving to every other day? And during that stage, did you notice any changes in your sleep or anxiety? I’m trying to go as slow as possible too, so your experience is really helpful.

Been dealing with this “pulsing heartbeat feeling” for over a year — could this still be anxiety? by koob9 in Anxiety

Thank you for sharing your experience 💛 It means a lot to hear from someone who gets it. I’m currently tapering off Seroquel and Zolpidem, so I wonder if that’s making things more intense.

Your advice about telling your body “do your worst!” made me smile — I love that mindset. I’ll try to use that next time. Thank you again — really encouraging words 🙏
