Dear lybrate-user,
Definitely qutan is not the treatment for dementia. At times to control behavioural problems of dementia, it needs to be given.
Qutan 100 mg will not kill a person with dementia. That means no sudden death. But persons with dementia die earlier if they use such drugs.
Now you decide for yourself what is the next course of action. Discuss with other family members also. If you all can manage the behaviour of the patient, no need of qutan.

Dear Devaraj,
If you want to taper it, please discuss it with your doctor. You may not get any withdrawal symptom. But you may get your original symptoms for which it was prescribed.

Dear Devaraj,
Unless you inform me about your disorder diagnosis, i can not advise you to taper completely.
For many disorders Quetiapine is prescribed from 25 mg to 600 mg dose. Some are only for short term. For some other disorders, it is long term.
