    have tried quetiapine and found that it kicked in quick and pretty much knocked me out for hours, stopped taking it but would`nt mind trying it again as i need to be knocked out. sorry it had such affects on you, how much diazepam was you on before stopping them?

    Re: Anyone on/been on quetiapine

    that`s quite a combination. Mirtazapine also seem to knock me out, would`nt personally have thought it so good to take Mirtazapine and quetipine, sounds like a strong combination to me which is weird as most things don`t touch me but those 2 do when it comes to knocking me out.
    3x5mg of diazepam, wish i could get some as not doing well, but it could withdrawal from them plus your new combiantion! i`m baffled.
    used to be on 3x10g diazepam for some years but got myself off of them now i need them i get nothing but crappy cipramil, oh dear, it aint fun is it??????

    please don`t stop any meds based on any advice from me or anyone that isn`t a qualified professional, obviously if they are making you bad you will see but know your own mind and please don`t let my own experience sway your thinking. Is it anxiety they were prescribed for?
