Withdrawal From Seroquel

I am trying to wean myself off of Seroquel. I started at 100mg and weaned myself down to 25. It was fine for a while until anxiety symptoms reoccurred. I am now taking about 3/4 of a 25 mg tablet by shaving it down with a file. I also take .5mg clonopin at night to curb anxiety. The problem is that I am waking up groggy and tired, which is weird because that never happened on the higher dose. But If I try to shave it back to half a pill, I can't sleep and experience bad anxiety.

How can I get myself off of this stuff so that I don't get anxious and avoid the tiredness, that sometimes lasts all day?

I made a mistake. I shave down 3/4 of a 50mg tablet, not 25.

Your body does get used to anything you take for a long period of time, even if you don't abuse it. This is perfectly normal and a sudden cessation, or lowering of the dosage can cause withdrawal and rebound effects.

Have you contacted your doctor about this?

It may be necessary to temporarily adjust the dosage and frequency of the Klonopin, or use something else, to stave off the worse of these effects.
