Seroquel. I was on a huge dose (1500 mg I think) and tapered off it while tapering onto clozaril. I knew going in that it would be really hard and I had to do it IP for safety. When I go to the hospital it is to a mood disorder unit that has some things that are nicer than a regular floor but in return there are expectations like attendance at all groups is expected. It got to the point i had a pdoc note in my chart that I didn't have to go to groups, something so rare that they didn't believe me when I told them. But once I was through the 2.5-3 weeks it was fine. I don't know if it would have been better with a lower dose; I assume so.

Of all the side effects you've ever had which was the worst?
