I am seeing a licensed physician in VA. I have been slowly increased in my phentermine to two 37.5mg tablets a day. When my weight slowed down he added 10mg of Prozac. I trust my physician and I have lost over 17lbs in 25 days. He says that the Prozac will speed things along. I know several people who are already doing this combination with great success!
Abilify and depakote together?
NO! Even though Topamax and Depakote are used to treat a lot of the same things, Depakote can cause interactions with Topamax. If your doctor prescribed both prescriptions to you, I would call a Walgreen's or CVS and ask a pharmacist. They usually have one specifically to answer questions about medications. But even the website for the makers of depakote and topamax said they shouldn't be taken together.
Can Zoloft and Abilify be used together for anxiety?
yeah i did it for a few days. the side effects bothered me too much i could not stand it so i got off of it. It gave me RLS, ADHD while i was on it. and it was the worse to come off of. I took the two together for a couple months or so but I had to quit taking the Abilify as I lost the ability to make simple conversation. I couldn't talk to loved ones or friends. I sat there basically brain-dead. I stopped taking the Abilify but kept taking the Seroquel and the brain inactivity was no longer a problem.

How does antipsychotic drug work?
Anticholinergic drugs inhibit the enzyme Acetylcholinesterase enzyme which breaks down acetylcholine. Therefore with more Acetylecholine neurotransmitters present. The cholinergic receptors such as the muscarinic and nicotinic receptors are more likely to find an Ach chemical to join with so their reaction takes place. An example of this is Neostigmine and Physostigmine which improve the ability to void-treating urinary retention or reducing intraocular pressure-treating glaucoma.

What happens if you snort zyprexa?
Adderall is a combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine that is used to help treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is generally taken orally and stimulates the central nervous system and speeds up the messages going between the brain and the body.
When you snort the medication instead of swallowing it, the strength and potential for problems increases. This is because the drug passes directly into the blood and body tissues instead of first being metabolised.
When coming down you may experience a number of problems such as exhaustion, tension, radical mood swings, depression and even uncontrolled violence.
Long-term effects of repeatedly using of amphetamines can include:
- High blood pressure and a rapid and irregular heartbeat
- Chronic sleeping problems
- Malnutrition if your appetite is reduced and you aren't eating properly
- Anxiety, tension and sudden outbursts of violence
- Amphetamine psychosis, where you may be paranoid or suffer from delusions, hallucinations and bizarre behaviour (usually symptoms disappear a few days after you stop taking the amphetamines)
- There is also some evidence that the brain cells can be damaged.
Snorting Adderall can also damage nasal tissues and deteriorate nasal cartilage.
You also need to know that like amphetamines, snorting Adderall can lead to tolerance and addiction. This means that you are more likely to start to need using more and more of it, and your body may begin to rely on it to function. So you may have withdrawal effects if you stop taking it suddenly after continuous use.

Look up SODAS, that is the delivery system for most xr, cr, or la drugs. the outer layer is the drug, then an inactive ingredient, then a tiny plastic pellet which has holes in it and is full of the 2nd dose of the drug. Snorting anything can lead to pulmonary embolisms, but these especially. the plastic parts end up in your lungs and will cause bronchitis, pneumonia, and other infections. I have a Rx for Xanax and also Focalin XR which is the strongest of the amphetamines used to treat ADHD. I got creative one day and snorted the xanax, nothing special except clogged sinuses. After trying to snort the Focalin XR I had chest congestion, and excessive phlem for a long time. ALWAYS TAKE MEDS THE WAY IN WHICH THEY ARE PRESCRIBED.
Is it bad to smoke marijuana while taking seroquel?
Smoking pot or marijuana, if you don't already know, tends to affect people differently, depending on the person. Its effects include the need for parastalsis or strong hunger, feelings of antidepression, a calming sensation, slight feelings of weightlessness, dry or "cotton" mouth, and easy contractions of hilarity. The side affects, also depend on the person. Problems with smoking marijuana usually occurs when persin begins at a young age. In your teenage (or younger) lifetime, your brain is going through extreme changes, it is growing and learning. Interruption of this process may lead to losses in the short term memory, coordination, and reflex areas of the brain. This case does not occur as often in adult stages. However, when smoked during the correct stages of life, Marijuana can increase creativity in the brain as well as terminate feelings of depression and pain. It has also been proven to terminate pain and the actual rheumatoid arthritis and reduce inflamation of those with Alzheimers. Smoking marijuana is no problem as long as it is used wisely.
AnswerMarijuana does not have a lot of problems with interactions with other drugs. It is not a major health threat by itself, so all such questions really come down to the effects of the other drug.As stated above, marijuana should not be a problem if used in moderation.
AnswerI know people who smoke marijuana and take Seroquel without experiencing any decrease in the effectiveness of the Seroquel. But I also know people with mental illnesses whose symptoms increased when they smoked Marijuana. It all depends on the individual and how his/her body reacts to the drug. AnswerI agree with the person directly above. I sometimes take Seroquel (currently just 100-200mg; I was up to 600mg each and every night during a very extreme and somewhat lengthy state of mania) for sleeping purposes. I personally could not smoke during that time period.Marijuana effects most drugs when smoked. Seroquel will be raised for the duration when smoking. It wil be enhanced a little but not enough to make one OD.
Answer:
I am bi polar and have smoked pot for years. For the last few months I have been on Seroquel 600 mg at nite. The problem that presents itself is massive weight gain to the point that I have quit smoking entirely and switched to a low glycemic diet. Seroquel will increase your appetite and the way in which the body metabolizes carbohydrates, that combined with the "munchies" brought on by smoking pot is a bad combination. You can easily wind up with really high glucose levels in the blood.
If you can take Seroquel and smoke and NOT gain weight then more power to you.....you gotta be careful with Serquel and your diet.

Can you mix antibiotics and painkillers?
This is really a question for your doctor. What is safe for one individual may not be for another. Usually antibiotics and painkillers in appropriate doses are fine. Still, only your doctor knows your personal medical history, and should be the one who gives you the appropriate advise. Although most people will give sincere advise, they can be sincerely wrong. Do not take chances when it comes to your personal health.
What are side affects from metadone and seroquel being took together?
Swim has abused these drugs recently, Swim has found that taking Seroquel in combination with Valium (which swim has much more experience with) produced a profound high with marked disorientation, confusion, and lack of motor control. The doses swim used were 25-40MG of Valium coupled with 75-150mg of Seroquel. Valium alone does not produce a pronounced high in Swim. Swim found the Seroquel to be particularly debilitating and a dangerous additive for a mix of Valium,Xanax, and cannabis. But regarding your problem, Swim thinks that Seroquel tolerance plays a major role in the equation, along with dosage. If you have Seroquel tolerance already, Swim is certain that an individual with tolerance would react much differently to the combination, and not suffer such debilitating effects. Otherwise be careful not to over do it or you may get extremely groggy, confused, frustrated, and generally unable to function in a way that Swim found almost disturbing.
