Tapering: Cutting off .25 milligrams every 2 wks or so?

Well the nicotine patch has to wait, I just cannot reduce my seroquel and sub and detox from nicotine at the same time. I am actually feeling okay a 1.5 milligrams for the first time. I did have two beers at dinner last night (craft beers, I don’t drink the massed produced crap like Bud or Miller), so they might have masked some anxiety but it really didn’t feel like they did. Sleep was okay. I am noticing it is much easier to actually get out of frickin bed with the lower dose of seroquel. I should be ready to stop the seroquel completely in like two weeks or so.

One thing that does suck is my appetite has been absolutely awful. I am just not hungry and it makes exercising hard. I am a skinny guy but have worked very hard to put on some good muscle mass and am probably going to lose a bit of it. Oh well though, I will be able to hit the gym even harder once I finally get off of this stuff.

I want to make it clear that I have nothing against Sub and would have no problem being a long term/life time maintenance user but my length of use and habit doesn’t really warrant it.
