hi! If you're gaining weight, you can try adding metformin (glucophage, glucophage XR) and/or amantidine. Those medications seem to help **some** people gain less weight on atypicals. Abilify seems like a good option to me...its non-drowsy (usually), its easy to increase or decrese the doses, and it tends to be weight neutral (you probably won't lose or gain weight...any weight changes are usually pretty small). It seems like you could switch out the seroquel, start up the abilify, and then keep everything else more or less the same, except maybe up the Klonopin (abilify can cause some initial anxiety).
