I want to almost eliminate Seroquel Prolong during daytime. I have handled the last reduction from 700 to 650 better than expected. Maybe I can go 600 soon.

Seroquel is a poor anti-psychotic, so if it is the neuroleptic aspect that keeps you from reducing the dose faster, you could advantageously replace it with any of a number of agents that have a higher ratio of dopamine/serotonin to histamine blockade. Personally, I'd go with a benzamide, ie. amisulpride or sulpiride (maybe tiapride too).
