Seroquel (quetiapine): Your doctor may be wanting to avoid potential long-term movement disorders from seroquel (quetiapine). You may not have a problem coming off seroquel (quetiapine) gradually, especially depending on what other medication your doctor wants to change to. Since you did not supply this information, please ask your own psychiatrist about these concerns. Best wishes.
