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.
I'm going off what my pharmacist said. I trust him. He knows my meds better than my pdoc. Hes been my pharmacist for 6 years. Please just accept that I'm NOT going to switch to the seroquel. There's NO way 150 mgs of seroquel equals 7.5 of zyprexa. Please let this go!
