Withdrawal from the antipsychotic group of medications can be problem-free, but is sometimes difficult. If your daughter develops increased distress or anxiety, it could be due to the changes in serotonin and dopamine metabolism caused by the quietapine. It would just mean that you need to go slower, perhaps much slower, with the withdrawal. At the moment, much more is known about benzo withdrawal than AP withdrawal.
It's wonderful how well your daughter is doing, and you also deserve so much credit for the wonderful judgement you have shown in helping her. I do hope it continues to go well.
