They can certainly make you feel sluggish and tired if taken together. I am assuming you are under a doctor's care - usually I see one drug or the other, but not both together. The number one side effect of both medicines is sedation or sleepiness.

Of course, there is always the possibility that you're just having a normal depressive cycle, and that it has nothing to do with anything going on in your life.

Is taking 300 mg seroquel xr with 30 mg Celexa and alcohol harmful and could this cause respiratory failure if diazapam is included in the mix?

The combination of Seroquel and Celexa is fine for bipolar or treatment resistant depression. The benzo may add to the sedative effect but should be safe otherwise. BUT- adding alcohol could be very dangerous, especially the benzo and alcohol can cause respiratory depression and death. If whatever is troubling you requires three drugs to treat it, you really should not be drinking, unless your doctor says you can have an occasional glass of wine or beer, which he or she probably won't. Alcohol can worsen depression and anxiety and too much can make you miss your pills and do other self-destructive things.


If you take 600mg of Seroquel and 50mg of Pristiq for psychosis and depression respectively is it safe to take 20mg of Adderall instant release?

I strongly advise you to consult with your psychiatrist before adding Adderall to your medication regimen. Adderall (which increases dopamine concentrations in your brain) may counteract the beneficial effects Seroquel for psychosis (which helps to decrease dopamine transmission in your brain) and that means you may run the risk of psychotic symptoms re-emerging. Now, since the dose is low, it may be OK, but I would definitely ask the physician who is treating the psychosis and depression. I also have to wonder what the Adderall is being prescribed for - sleepiness? Problems concentrating? Or is it for an actual diagnosis of Attention deficity/Hyperactivity Disorder? If it's for sleepiness, maybe adjusting doses on the Seroquel or Pristiq might help. The bottom line is, you need to talk this over with whoever is treating your psychological conditions.


Is there any food restriction for bipolar disorder?

I wouldn't think so, however don't eat foods that make you sad. Like cheese. (maybe) There is not a specific diet for bipolar disorder. However, eating a well balanced diet, and adding fish to one's diet (2 times a week). can overall improve mood.


Can you take Seroquel and ibuprofen together?

It depends on how much of each drug you take. Further, mixing the drugs together won't make any of the individual drugs more potent. A lethal dose of Seroquel will kill you with or without adding Tylenol or Advil. I suggest you don't try and find out what such a dose is, and contact a professional or call 911 for yourself or a friend if there's any danger.
