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.

Does seroquel have the same effect as Adderall?
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 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
Seroquel and weed?
Depends on what you're taking the seroquel for.If you're taking the seroquel for psychosis or schizophrenia I would strongly disapprove as the weed will aggravate your psychosis and you could have a relapse.If you're taking it for bi-polar, anxiety or sleeping problems I don't see why not, although it may cause more problemsThe only drugs that interact with weed directly is SSRI anti-depressants.Hope this helps.

What is Celexa and seroquel in a combination used to treat?
celexa and seroquel are probably treated for depression and insomnia. Celexa is aused with many people with PTSD, used to help with anxiety and depression, and if your doctor feels the need to not give you ambien for whatever reason, he might proscribe trazadone or seroquel for sleep. That's what i got it for :) although i find celexa doesnt really work for me
