First, let me say kudos to you for even planning to go - that's a big step, and I think I would be feeling the same in that situation. Using your Seroquel as you have been directed can also help. How much extra have you taken? I can take anywhere from 25 to 50 mg for anxiety, but 100mg will knock me out. Everyone's tolerance is different though, and you may do just fine on a higher dose. I would not, under any circumstances, add alcohol to the mix. I would focus instead on practicing deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. Prepare your answers ahead of time for questions regarding what you have been doing, even if you have to dig a little. Did you do any gardening this past summer? Do you have any children you can talk about? Do you have any future trips planned? You probably haven't seen many of these people since last Christmas and they'll have no idea if you read a particular book last week or last April.

Also, have an exit strategy planned. Scope out somewhere isolated and quiet that you can retreat to, should things feel out of control. Plan for self-soothing strategies while you're there. Do you drink herbal tea? Bring a few bags and ask for some hot water and have that instead of whatever tea they're serving.

You can do this. And once you're through it, you can rest and know that you made it. And even if things don't go well, you can know that you did your best and tried.

Hugs to you....
