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...

With my doctor, I went from 750 to 0 over the course of about 8 weeks. We went down by 200 each week then used a week per 25 grams the last 100 grams. I had horrible depression about a half hour after taking Seroquel towards the end which was why I went off it in the first place. I'm not sure if you are experiencing that, but it definitely hit me negatively after taking it.
