I have been on pms quetiapine for sleep for two years now i can't sleep without it i don't want to be on pills anymore! what do i do?

Go slow: A gradual reduction in dose over an extended time will increase the likelyhood of successful discontinuation. Abrupt discontinuation will likely prodece rebound insomnia.
