I take all these medications and I want to safely come off. If you can help me then email me through my profile. I don’t care about your opinions only answer if you know how to do it safely. I could quit cold turkey but I’m afraid of the repercussions. My doctor refuses to help me and wants me to be over medicated.
I agree, find another doctor. You may need medication, whether you like it or not, but if your doctor won’t even consider helping you knowing you’re going to stop anyway, you really do need a better doctor.

I can only personally tell you what to do for effexor. I’m assuming you’re on Effexor XR? If you’ve ever missed a couple of days of it, you know how nasty withdrawals can be. Even after a single day without, you may start to feel the mood swings, dizziness, and ‘brain swooshing’. If you want to avoid this, you simply need to taper off the medication instead of stopping cold turkey. If your prescription is one pill, start only taking the pill every other day for a week or two, and then skip another day between doses, and then you should be good to stop. If you have multiple pills, do the same thing only start by first reducing the number of pills by half each day. If you’re on a higher dosage, that may take a little longer, but still, you can safely stop that within a month without any bad side effects. Ideally, you’d do that with a doctor who could prescribe you a month’s worth of small dosage pills so you could work your way down and still take them daily so you won’t start to feel the withdrawal effects at the end of the day.

I’ve quit effexor cold turkey and lived through it just fine, but it was a rough couple of weeks. With everything else going on though, I wouldn’t suggest you quit cold turkey.

I can’t say for sure about the other two, and again, I’ll urge you do seek another doctor’s opinion if you can. If you’re dead set on going ahead, I’ll point out a few more things. Seroquel doesn’t have direct withdrawal effects, just an increased risk of having whatever problems you take it for. Also, being on it increases the chance of seizure in some people. So, and especially since Tegretol is an anticonvulsant, I’d stop taking the Seroquel before you stop taking the Tegretol. Tegretol doesn’t have huge withdrawal effects either, but if you do take it for to prevent seizures, I’d consider staying on it. Otherwise, do the same thing with the Seoquel and the Tegretol that you did with the Effexor, but since they don’t have the nasty withdrawal effects of Effexor you may be able to do it a little quicker. I’d suggest only stopping one drug at a time so you can deal with each on its own, and also, that way, if you start to have problems or feel worse off of the drugs, you’ll know exactly which one you might need to keep taking for now.

Hi - I just started tegretol and am at 600 mg in the morning and 600 in the evening. The side effects I’m feeling are just completely bonkers. I feel dizzy, sleepy, and just pretty darn out of it. Like I can’t remember what I’m supposed to be doing half the time. Has anyone else felt these symptoms and do they go away???
OMG why are you on such a HIGH dose???????

I ONLY take 100mg daily that’s it!!!

I use Tegritol for my Bi-Polar/Manic Depression. Mood Stabilizer.

PLUS 40 mg Prozac Daily 90 mg Prozac Weekly and Seroquel 25mg nightly.
