Hi Katie,
How are you? Do you still have the nausea, abdominal pain, itching and restlessness?
I think it would be useful to reduce your aripiprazole dose down to 5mg/day for the time being. Aripiprazole often causes restlessness, nausea and abdo pain as side effects. You can ask your doc for some procyclidine to take if you need it for the restlessness.
I also think that you should increase your Seroquel dose. Were you taking 750mg before? The itching could be a withdrawal symptom. I think you should increase your Seroquel dose (eg. to 600mg/day in two divided doses) until the iching goes away. Then you can reduce the dose more gradually next time.
