Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

You need to decrease the dose of seroquel after you call and inform your doctors' office that you are feeling very dopey. I think the office would understand and make an appointment for you to see a doctor as soon as possible. I would also advise you to avoid drinking on the medication and taking the medication around 8 pm so as to avoid feeling dopey at night. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!

I hope you get that physician's/psychiatrist's appointment as soon as you can!
