Yeah, my main goal right now is to raise my baseline mood without tipping into hypomania too much, or having too much instability. I would say the zyprexa/olanzapine is more effective at stabilizing me and does little for mood (though it used to), while seroquel does potentially much more for mood and little for stabilizing.
Give the option, I'll take "able to move around and do stuff more often than not, but unstable" over "stable but immobilized by crippling depression," I guess.
I'm only 6 weeks in on the seroquel, so still evaluating.
