Just wanted to add that I had been taking steps to try to stop this before I decided to taper (and now abruptly lower) the Seroquel. I started bringing with me one of those Starbucks cans of double espresso in the car to drink on the way, and I've been talking to my mother -hands free- on the phone during my whole commute back to keep me awake --the trip home with my mother has been effective, but the additional double espresso on the way has not. Hence resorting to lowering Seroquel. It's been my last resort in part because at the end of the day if I were to go into a hypo/manic episode and driven that would be dangerous as well, and we all know that we're not always in our right mind to not drive while hypo/manic-intoxicated. I hope this clears up a bit my rationale as this has been playing out. It's more complicated than it may sound.

Granted, I do realize that I really should have contacted my pdoc about this earlier.

In any case, as I said in my last post, I've left a msg for my pdoc and will be starting 25mg tonight and I appreciate all of the advice and reality-checks.
