Hi Jeroen,
I've been a culprit of Seroquel & Abilify too.
They've notched my Seroquel up to 900 mgs (sometimes even 1000 mgs) per day and then added the Abilify to counteract the depression from the Seroquel (it will do this as it down regulates dopamine).
For me it made things worse. Really bad bad anxiety ---> for which they gave me 8 to 10 Ativan per day (can you believe it???)
Now I'm on 300 mgs of Seroquel, 100 mgs of Trazodone and 3 mgs of Ativan. As adjuncts I take 1200 mgs of fish oil and 2000 mgs of magnesium. I feel the latter is stabilizing me the most. Don't exactly know why, but I've read many good things about magnesium. If I get to jittery I take 1 or 2 tablets of Niacine (vit. B3, will make you go red for about 30 mins) but it's available OTC and not very expensive.
Hope this helps some.
Hang in there son!
Maria
