You need to talk to your pdoc about changing meds. Not only might you fall asleep at the wheel and kill someone (or yourself) in an accident, you could be arrested for driving under the influence. It doesn't matter that you're taking a prescribed medicine, it's still a DUI.

Seroquel is notorious for causing excessive drowsiness. You might need to try Geodon or something less sedating. It would be better if you could come off one of your APs, but of course some of us need more than one AP to manage our illness, so that may not be possible. But it's definitely worth discussing with your pdoc. Please be careful!
