Answer: No, it does not. I would probably say that since Seroquel is an anti-psychotic used for the treatment of schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder, that it is the complete opposite. Adderall can most definetly lead to psychosis, or if you are schizophrenic it has a high potential for abuse. Adderall can also make your bipolar much worse. They do not have the same effect simply because anti-psychotics and stimulants are not the same. hope this helps, Megan.*******

Does Adderall have the same effect if wet?
Of course.
Does anyone else take seroquel and adderall for bipolar II?
No. Topamax and Seroquel is better. They are probably giving you the Adderall for any ADD you may have or in some cases a mood stablizer. Mood stabilzers, such as Topamax which also has many other medical uses, work best with Seroquel.
How much adderall should you take with 100mg of seroquel?
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
Is it ok to mix Diet Coke with Adderall?
This question has two answers. Diet Coke has caffeine in it and caffeine works on the brain the same way Adderall works on the brain. Therefore, the initial effect of mixing the two may be to increase the effect of Adderall. However, caffeine is also a diuretic and diuretics have the effect of washing Adderall out of your system. Therefore, drinking any significant amount of diet coke will decrease, if not totally eliminate, the effect of Adderall.
Is it safe to mix Adderall XR and seroquel?
The combination is perfectly safe - to put it very simply, Adderall and Seroquel are sort of like polar opposites - Adderall is an amphetamine, which acts as a stimulant by increasing the amount of Dopamine in the brain, whereas Seroquel functions to decrease the amount of Dopamine floating around in the brain. That's the super simplified version. The expanded version: Although it's a safe combination, it might not be a very effective combination, depending on your reason for using these drugs. For AD/HD, the combination is fine, I will not go into details, but let's just say even though Seroquel is a 'downer' and Adderall an 'upper', the mechanism whereby Adderall supposedly produces its anti-ADD effect has to do with another sector, if you will, of Dopamine receptor sites, than the one which Seroquel acts upon to exert an anti-dopamine action. So you can take both for AD/HD, although some doctors will still not recommend it, since the exact mechanism whereby amphetamines manage AD/HD is not exactly understood, and since Seroquel is a downer which can be used to totally get rid of the stimulating effect of amphetamine, it is rational to assume that perhaps, taking Seroquel with Adderall at the same time, might not be a good idea, because Adderall will not act as a stimulant in this mix, and stimulation, according to many doctors, is essential to ADHD management and concentration...which Seroquel inhibits very effectively. Thus, my opinion is, the two drugs should NOT be taken together, because they basically cancel one another out, however I am not a doctor, I'm just someone who has tried this combination and found it to be completely ridiculous for reasons mentioned above. But everyone is different, and many doctors will disagree without knowing why, so keep that in mind. If the Adderall is being taken for its CNS stimulating properties, as in narcolepsy management, or for its anorectic properties.....Seroquel should not be taken in this case, as both wakefulness-promoting and anorectic qualities of the amphetamine will completely be lost.
