Thank you for your advice. Going cold turkey after 3 years of Seroquel use did not prepare me for the psychological trauma I'm experiencing.
I am so afraid of this drug, at this point, that I don't even want to taper down my dosage; I just want off it completely. I know that with time my brain will readjust to being off the chemicals and eventually I'll be "normal" again. In the meantime I will just have to accept that the world will be an uncomfortable place for me for the next 3 to 6 months. By the way, I'm also stopping the AP Abilify, which is probably another reason why I don't feel "right".
APs are psychologically addicting and I can't wait until I'm off them completely.
Thank you again for your help; it is deeply appreciated.
