Hi Jay.I guess any of the atypical neuroleptics have the potential to help, but I would put Seroquel at the bottom of the list.
I would arrange these drugs in order of their antidepressant potential as:
Geodon > Zyprexa > Risperdal > Seroquel
Clozaril is probably somewhere between Zyprexa and Risperdal, but its liabilities to produce agranulocytosis and weight gain makes it an undesirable choice.

I recommend Amisulpride if you can get it. Amisulpride is the only antipsychotic studied specifically for dysthymia and other depressive states.
