I've been on prescription sleep aids prior to Melatonin, but prefer Melatonin over any prescription sleep aid. It works just as well, if not, better!!
I am perscribed 200mg of Seroquel a day. I some times take Adderall if I need to study a ton. It is completely fine to take the two together. I even asked my psychatrist. Seroquel is a downer and Adderall is an upper. The two pills do two opposite things so its not harmfull unless you overdose on either. =)
Can taking seroquel help with xanax withdrawal?
It totally depends on what you are taking it for. 100 mg of seroquel will knock you out if you aren't extremely used to it. The doses of both seroquel and adderall change based on how much you have done in the past, plus what your underlying disorder is. If this is for medical purposes, consult your doctor. If this is for recreational purposes, don't take any more adderall than you would take w/o the seroquel... the seroquel will obviously mitigate some of the effects (as adderall causes more dopamine to be released and seroquel, among other things, antagonizes the d2 receptor). I currently take 25 mg of seroquel at night and 15 mg of adderall xr in the morning, and the combination is fantastic. But take that with a grain of salt, b/c everyone's physiology is different. In that respect, this question is kind of like "how many lines of coke should you snort with 6 beers?" It can't be answered without a lot more information. Seroquel mainly antagonizes the d2 receptor of the brain. ADHD which adderall treats mainly has threaputic affects through the d4 receptor which seroquel has minimal affinity. Your seroquel shouldn't affect the effects of adderall so your normal dose should do fine maybe a 5 mg increase might help if you're taking a particularly high dose of seroquel
No, it won't help you sleep.
Seroquel
Yes I take my adderall daily, and tizanidine at night to help me sleep, both prescribed.. Been taking it for many years and no problems. Although taking them together would probably cancel each other out I'm guessing..
I have been taking seroquel for about 2 years now. I used to sleep 3 to 4 hours a nite, now my wife has to wake me up in the mornings or i will sleep until noon. So the answer is yes it should help you sleep.
i have been on seroquel for years and the only side effect is it doesnt help me sleep anymore at 800mg
Seroquel should ONLY be taken according to your prescription. A person on Seroquel needs to take their meds the way that they're supposed to, in the time frame that they are supposed to, to keep a steady level of the drug in the body. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, and not a sleep aid. The important thing is, if you are on Seroquel, you need to take it properly. Don't just stop taking it; you need to be "weaned off". And if it is not your prescription, you should NOT take it. Anti-psychotic drugs taken by a person who doesn't need it can be dangerous, including having long-term permanent effects such as Tardive Diskinesia. Actually Seroquel IS prescribed by a lot of doctors as a sleep aid. It's an anti psychotic medication that can be used to help you sleep. I have a prescription for it as a sleep aid myself actually.
Adderall lasts for like 6-8 hrs, so anytime after that's good. The Ambien can actually help you come off the Adderall and get to sleep (obvi :]). Of course, if you wanna have some fun, someone who isn't me ;) finds that taking them together is rather exquisite.
depression and sleep disorders
it would help u sleep, that's for sure! lol
Are you sure it is "XR"? I would have to say that taking Adderall at bedtime is definitely not usual. I do not understand why you would need help concentrating when you sleep. I would consult with your physician on the reasoning behind it, or verify with the pharmacy that it was not a typo on the label.
