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.
