I have a 2 hour and 15 minute commute to work, for which I literally have to get up at the crack of dawn. During the past few months I've been falling asleep at the wheel and it's been getting worse and worse. This coincides (though started a couple of months later) with an increase in my Seroquel dose due to a depressive episode. I've decided that -for my own safety- I need to taper the Seroquel.

I'm currently taking 100 mg and on Sunday will start taking 75 for a week and so on, until I get to 25mg, which I've taken before and been alright on. I don't see my pdoc for a few weeks, but I think this needs to be done asap, and I'd do it no matter what my pdoc says anyway.

So wish me luck. I'm scared, but more scared of getting into an accident. The Seroquel hangover is all too real. On weekends I sleep until at least 12pm and go to bed before midnight... I really do need that much sleep on this amount of Seroquel.
