However,
I have seen a combination of Seroquel plus Risperdal relieve a woman of psychotic depression with paranoia and delusions. In this combination, much less Seroquel is needed to produce an energizing effect, and the Risperdal would probably mitigate the paranoia.
Theory? None, really. However, the energizing effect of Seroquel might be the result of its metabolite being a potent NE reuptake inhibitor (like desipramine). Risperdal binds to DA receptors much more tightly than does Seroquel and is probably better at mitigating delusions and paranoia. I suggest that the combination might represent complementary mechanisms that for you, might help both with energy and paranoia.
