Oh, dear! You might have to hold on tapering quetiapine for several weeks to let this settle out.

I’m going to Puerto Rico 3/10-15 and I was going to suggest a hold until I returned. I had a good day TD wise, but both yesterday and today all I wanted to do was sleep and sleep. And this afternoon brought on persistent anxiety (15 minutes)along w/ tension in my soft palate and headache. What do you think?
