Hi Scott,
I am a big fan of adding a 5-HT2A antagonist to SSRI's. The increase in serotonin caused by SSRI's & Effexor agonises 5-HT2A recptors & causes 90% of the side effects as these receptors control some fairly major body functions such as heat regulation, sleep regulation & sexual functions. Typically SRI's cause night sweats, poor sleep, anorgasmia & jumpiness.
I would be inclined to replace your Seroquel with either a low dose of Amitriptyline(25-50mg) or a high dose of Nortriptyline to give some very cheap 5-HT2A antagonism. If your doc wants to force an AP on you, Risperdal is probably the best choice at a low dose.
Cheers,
Panda.
