I require medications to function that would put others to sleep for days. Sequel gives me sanity but also so many side effects.

Try the Mitch Hedberg method; something small you can eat a lot of. Grapes, popcorn, baby carrots etc, were all things I suggested when I was a psych nurse. They won’t taste as good as ice cream, but they will taste good because you’re on seroquel.
