I am weaning myself off with 100 mg (I've only been on for a month). I don't want to be on it after reading up on its side effects. Since it doesn't knock me out, what's the point? Beside, Diabetes runs in my family and I cannot take the chance. I wish I never learned of this drug.

Are you on the XR or straight Seroquel? There is a huge difference
