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.

How is alcohol and the respiratory system related?

Alcohol affects the respiratory system in many ways such as slower breathing and sleep apnea in many individuals. These can be considered as shorter term effects, but over time, many individuals can potentially experience more long term effects such as those experienced as a result of lack of oxygen to the brain due to sleep apnea related issues. Heavy drinkers, over time, are also at risk of developing diseases and conditions affecting the respiratory system such as pneumonia due to a weaker immune system that can be experienced due to consumption of alcohol. - plc
