dear friend
the very fact that you are on such high dosage of quetiapine is point enough for you not to tamper with the dose without the consent and care of your treating psychiatrist.
instead of taking any step by yourself i suggest you meet your doctor and discuss your issues may be a combination of drugs or a different alternative can be given keeping the benefit same
