I think I'm going to start at home and when it gets bad I'll be admitted. However it is likely to get bad pretty quickly based on lowering my dose a bit last summer to try to stop side effects of too much dopamine. I'm on 1200 mg and by 800 mg the only place I belonged was IP. I don't think I was doing very well at 1000 mg. So mostly it will be a rapid taper. Since missing a dose makes me sick and lowering the dose makes me very depressed on top of the depression I already have, I really am not looking forward to this. But I have to get off it anyway; it goes generic in 2016 and I won't be able to afford the co-pays then.

Are you going to start tapering off of seroquel ahead of time? Or are you doing it all rapidly in the hospital?
