Has he stated anything about a TCA drug, or (shock! horror!) an MAOI....
Are you psychotic or have anxiety/depression that is intractable to all other treatments? If not, I wouldn't Seroquel.
I don't like any SSRI's but I would suggest alprozolam for the racing thoughts.....(if they have anxiety component to them)
