> Thanks to all who replied. I am already taking Geodon so I'm not sure about adding Seroquel.
>The sedative properties of Seroquel is due to its antihistaminic (and possibly 5-HT2-antagonistic) action, so it's better to use a real antihistamine that doesn't have the antidopaminergic and antiadrenergic properties of Seroquel. Cyproheptadine is ideal because it also blocks the 5-HT2-receptor (like Seroquel), an action that most (or all) other antihistamines lack.

>Try something like modafinil instead of coffee. It has been used with Nardil without dangerous interactions, but it should still be introduced with caution.
