I hope I'm not shunned here bc I'm not doing what you all want me to do... at this point I regret sharing it in the first place. And hes only in on Fridays and no one takes his place. I haven't had a panic attack in 2 days. I'm not willing to risk changing meds and having them more often again.

I'm sorry if you feel shunned. It sounds like you're angry, which is unfortunate, because I think there's a misunderstanding.
I would like to hear that you're feeling less miserable and was hoping you'd try a new med because you have repeated panic attacks (from what you've posted). It seems logical that either the medication(s) you're on isn't working, you're treatment resistant, or the panic attacks are something that may be better treated in therapy, rather than with a medication.
I'm confused about the cross-taper issue. It's pretty easy to figure out. According to this site Psychopharmacopeia: Online Searchable Psychopharmacology Drug Database for Clinicians an olanzipine 7.5mg dose equals quetiapine 150mg.
Perhaps I'm incorrect, but as I understand it, a dose of 300mg Seroquel is actually quite a bit stronger than 7.5mg. Zyprexa is.
