I think the irritability is normal. I had manic psychosis after discontinuing Seroquel but not irritability. My advice (I'm not a doctor) would be to cease titration until you can consult with your doctor. If you can "handle" the irritability, then perhaps continue the titration. It's possible the sleep loss and daytime fatigue of the Quetiapine is causing the mood instability.

The irritability is affecting those around me, which I am sure is frustrating, but the anxiety is more worrying to me. It's mostly before I sleep, sometimes during the day, but mostly after pills while I'm waiting to fall asleep. So I'm wondering if the balance is off, as I'm down to half on one, not the other. I'm not a doctor either so I have no idea. I just don't want to have a massive panic attack to find out.
I have an appointment for the 10th (a while away).
I know it could be worse, I tried cold turkey in the past, which was a mistake. But, I don't have those physical symptoms at least, just mental symptoms this time, it seems.
Maybe you're right, wait for my doctor before I go further. Maybe 300mg to 150mg in 3 weeks is still too fast.. How long did it take you to wean off (if you don't mind me asking)? Or maybe I should be asking how long it should take so I know if the anxiety is from doing it too fast...
