What is going on?

I feel really ill, and I can't work out whats happening.

Okay, so I'm on quitiapine, my psych said I could come down to 300mg so I did, fine...
I also stopped smoking for 5 days using patches and inhalators but then started again today :( I've removed the patch though.

I've also been on a little bit more diazepam than usual for the last few days (about 10mg more.)

I feel really weird... like my brain freezes but my body carries on and I catch up with it a few seconds later. I also feel really really sleepy.

I can't work out which thing is making this happen though :\

You're body and brain are going into withdrawal mode. Common with psych meds, and I imagine quitting smoking on top is adding to it.
It will ease off. Eventually. Not much comfort I know, sorry. :(

I agree with Katie here, it sounds very much like withdrawal.

Can you contact your prescriber and explain to them how you are feeling. It may be that they will have some advice on how to cope with it, and if you should be reducing meds slowly.

As smoking also has an affect on the mind, I would try reducing only one thing at a time for now. Focus on lowering the Q meds first and then seek advice on the smoking - some people need a med to help them come of cigarettes and it may be you are one of these people. Do ask for help and advice, and keep your Psych informed of any changes in how you are doing.
