Weaning off Seroquel

#Depression I am weaning off Seroquel after being on it for 21 years. I have developed some neurological side effects and I am desperate to find out why. I’ve had Tardive Dyskinesia and now Vocal Dystonia. My vocal cords are in constant spasm and it’s painful and exhausting. My doctor is taking me down very slowly because I’ve had trouble coming off of meds before. I seem to have dizziness and headaches but that’s not too bad. I have very little support and was just looking for any hints.
