As per my opinion, there is no need to bother too much as dose of Quetiapine is optimum and is not such that, that can cause side effect. 50 mg is low dose often used for disturbed sleep. If an individual want to taper it and use other alternative as zolpidem melatonin combination or Benzodiapines as Clonazepam or lorazepam, it is advisable under guidance.If an individual try to taper dose on his own, sleep will be disturbed, symptoms that you have mentioned in image can relapse. So do not think too much , 50 mg is not high dose, it's has no addictive potential, So you should continue it or cross taper with other medications under supervision of a doctor
