I was put on quetiapine about a month ago at a dose of 200mg for symptoms of mania. I was on the drug involuntarily for 3 weeks, before dropping it over the period of a week as soon I was given control over dosing.
I did so without the supervision of my doctor because I was mistrustful of him.
It's been 3 days since I got off the quetiapine and I've been unable to sleep. Before, I'd sleep like a log for 8 hours a night.
What has happened to me, mechanistically? Is my body going to be able to readjust without returning to the drug? If not, why?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
