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.
Oh! I'm sure in the hospital you'll be okay.

There's not a generic XR seroquel? Darn. The stuff helps so much with my anxiety I was going to ask my pdoc about the XR and thought than maybe I wouldn't need a separate anti anxiety med and could cut my med intake down to two.
