Thank you everybody for the input. I have discussed this with my pdoc but he is pretty passive and kind of follows my lead. I mean if I tell him I want to try reducing the seroquel he is fine with that and gave me a script for 25mgs to work with. Same with respirdal. I thought it would be a good idea to start with the APs since I have no psychotic symptoms and since I think they are kind a flattening me out. He seems content with the status quo as it is keeping the worst of my depression at bay. I see him in 2 weeks. In the meantime I think I will try decreasing the seroquel again and see what happens. I feel pretty alone in this since he is so passive and it feels like he is not really invested in me. I have been to a bunch of pdocs in the last months and I really don't know if I have the energy to look for a new one. I did take down Andrew Nierenberg's number- thank you Scott. If I decide to see someone new, I think it would make a lot of sense to see him from what you say.
Sigh.

PS My therapis thinks I'll be able to get off all these meds. Is he crazy?
