> Maybe cross taper to zyprexa in the 2.5mg to 5mg range? It will have similar effects, not as strong in sedation though, and should ease or improve the symptoms you are having trouble with, and in my experience was more cognitive neutral or even enhancing rather than dulling.

> Another option to somewhat mimic seroquel in several aspects would be a cross taper to remeron?Bleauberry, thank you for suggestions! Along the same line of thought, what do you think about cross-tapering Abilify? Even thought activating, might it lessen the depression?
Remeron is a good thought but I worry about weight gain, I think that one of the side effects?
Weight gain is a huge concern for me right now because I've gained a ton on the lithium and seroquel and my knees are in really bad shape now, hard to get up the stairs.
Thanks so much for your help!
