All I want, is to be able to sleep without tablets. Wake up without still feeling the lethargy these tablets cause.
I'm just wandering through life. I'm not living. I'm just existing. And I'm running out of time and patience.

I finally got utterly fed up with how dead exhausted and out of it I've been on my Seroquel dose (increased a couple of months ago) and just a couple of days ago lowered it by 50 mg. I feel soo much better (in some ways, anyway).
But you seem to be throwing out the baby with the bathwater (is that the expression?). Why come off of everything at the same time, why not at least titrate? I think also if you come off of everything at once, it will be hard to tell which of the medications was causing you distress... believe me, I understand how you're feeling on all that medication, but is there a middle ground you can take? Are you doing this with the help of your psychiatrist? I'm afraid you're setting yourself up for some serious withdrawals, amongst other things...
