My (new) pdoc said the meds I'm taking are really "20th century" -not sure what he meant but I'll be talking to him about it next appt.

Maybe that he is bribed. Or just a very bad psychiatrist. Some are both.
Quetiapine is fine. But you may try something else. But new isn't always/often better. Mostly just different.
Aripiprazole is something that's a bit more activating/antidepressive and less sedative/antihistaminergic.
