I'm currently on 50mg of Serequel for nighttime
and 40mg prozac during the day time.
also 60mg Armour Thyroid each morning at 6am.

Recently I've been having many many anxiety attacks (levels 5-7) and the prozac just isn't keeping me calm and collected. So I started taking the 50mgs of Serequel earlier in the day and then taking 10mg Ambien at bedtime.

After this didn't help me feel any more relaxed during the day I decided to take the Prozac wait 1 hour and then take the 50mg Serequel, around bedtime I take another 50mg Serequel wait 30 minutes then take a 10mg Ambien....and finally it feels like I can get some decent sleep.

But somehow I feel like I've stepped over that ever-hidden boundary of substance misuse to substance abuse....

any idea?

Only you can honestly answer if you think it's an issue. Do you do this normally now (like on a regular basis)? Does your prescribing doctor know this? Do you feel you might have a problem with what you're currently doing?

Abuse occurs when your conscience tells you it has...

If you are concerned have a loved one control the drugs and give them to you on schedule...

IMHO.
