Thanks for your reply. I did try switching to Lamictal alone but became anxious. I don't know if it was withdrawal from seroquel or my generalized anxiety resurfacing but I felt pretty crappy when I tried to make the switch. I do best on a combination of the two but I understand it's preferable to be on only one medication.
