Author: u/MarionberryCute5143

“I woke up feeling zombified, no emotions, no anxiety, blank mind, it was the scariest thing I ever experienced, I had emotional numbness before but I was still able to feel somewhat frustration, anxiety, and some sadness, but after taking Seroquel, everything vanished”

Cause: Seroquel (quetiapine) prescribed for sleep problems and panic attacks; effect from the first morning, about 3 weeks of use, then stopped cold turkey when pills ran out. Had some emotional numbness before, but says everything vanished after Seroquel.
Duration: About 3 weeks on Seroquel plus almost a week after stopping at posting.
Recovery notes: No recovery reported at posting; asks what helped others. Also lists insomnia, restlessness, brain fog, memory loss and apathy after stopping. No later update checked. Not medical advice.
