Whats your dog gonna do if you are put down?I am new to anxiety but realise how horrible it is and I feel for you.I don't think drugs are the answer for us because we tell ourselves they wont work.I am in a similar situation to you and I take every chance I can to leave the house.I go to the gym or cycling or visit friends,anything to take my mind off my anxiety,it works for me,what about you?

Hi newb

Has GP . told you to come of the meds hun , I hope you are not doing it without there help as coming of any meds , you have to tapper of & have support otherwise you will feel bad

If you are tappering of also you will feel different for a while , but it will get better

Dont think we want you to be put down , even though I no what you mean & how it feels , we get so fed up of ourselfs , its hard work at times , but slowly love things will improve

Go & see your GP & tell them how bad you feel ,especially over the meds

Let us no how you go on

Love

I am pretty new to the world of medication & anxiety but are you sure that coming off them is quite the best idea just now? With medication it's always best to seek medical advice before changing any aspect of them-up or down. Please ask 'those guys' for help re the quetiapine (which I have no knowledge/experience of, sadly) before you cahnge anything & if you are feeling like this then please let them know clearly. There must be an alternative (dose? medication type? therapy?) that can help, even if it takes a while to get to that alternative. In the meantime, there's always us....
