What happens if you mix alcohol with seroquel?
I was on seroquel for quite sometime and I know that everyone reacts differently to the medication. But for me I got very sleepy and almost passed out. I could not function and all I could do was lay there. I was not drunk, but between the medication and two beers, my body didn't handle it well. I would advise against drinking any alcohol while taking psych meds. If you want them to work and you want to get better, alcohol will not aid in that process.
AnswerSeroquel taken in low doses has proven to be more sedating. SO... taking 25mg and drinking will probably intensify the effect of both the alcohol and the med. Providing you get far enough to finish the drink...LOL AnswerI take 50mg of seroquel and i have had a few drinks on the odd occasion. I have been absolutely fine. I think it's a case of trial and error, it might affect you it might not. In any case if you want to drink fine, but just remember in moderation as alcohol is a depressant in itself, which never helps if you're needing to take the meds in the first place.Answer
I am a teenager and am taking 50 mg of seroquel. Me and some friends were hanging out and i had about, well i don't know i was sipping form the bottle lol but i had enough to the point where i would be normally drunk. But because i am taking the seroquel i didnt get drunk i just got very tired, i could hardly keep my head up much less join in the conversation so i went and slept in my friends bed for about 2 hours and when i woke up i was basically ok, still a bit tired but overall fine. i also talked to my brother who is a pharmacist and told him my experience and he STRONGLY recomends not to drink and take seroquel as it makes the alcohol very dangerouse for your liver, and other organs that i cannot remember.
well i hope this helps : ]
AnswerI took THREE 300 mg sequel and drank E and J. I can't remember anything i did, i cant even remember leaving my "friends" house. i cant remember being sexually active either. I pretty much blacked out that night and i cant even remember throwing up that night. The next morning i was in a hateful mood too. I get headaches on my left side of my head and sometimes the left side of my body will like feel different. i don't think that is normal either.
The next weekend i took just one half of a 400mg sequel, and drank some vodka. I passed out again, and I can remember the night but i threw up. That pill DOES NOT mix well with liquor.You probably have a chance of backing out and your mental heath will most likely not be the same.
Can you take Seroquel - to help you sleep - after taking Adderall?
I've been on prescription sleep aids prior to Melatonin, but prefer Melatonin over any prescription sleep aid. It works just as well, if not, better!!
Seroquel can be used to treat many disorders- autism, ADD, bipolar, depression, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorders, sleeping disorders such as narcolepsy, abusive behavior such as alcoholism, gambling, drug addiction, psychosis, anxiety. Seroquel acts on the dopaminergic system, and so it is a mood stabilizer. In other words, Seroquel will make you feel secure, less anxious, not paranoid, and calm. It has a major sedative effect, as such it will make you sleep much, so if you have a sleeping disorder, then Seroquel is your cure, because you will never ever have any trouble falling asleep. In some people, depending on their dosage, Seroquel may make them sleep 12-18 hours, but if you time your REM sleep to 8 hours and expose your body to sunshine, then your Circadian clock will kick in and you can wake up at 8 hours, if you follow this up by a cup of coffee or green tea! I like Seroquel, I call it my happy pill. In fact often people will ask me for some of my Seroquel. Just make sure to never ever combine Seroquel with alcohol, as this can cause an overdose. I also supplement my Seroquel with 2000 mg of Taurine which helps me concentrate, a multivitamin which includes 200% Folic Acid which is very important for the blood pressure, remember Seroquel will naturally lower your blood pressure. I also take Omega-3-6-9's from Barlean's, and green tea as my caffeine source, it helps me think, something about the fatty acids. I have had friends that are totally healthy take Seroquel and it totally relaxed them, and mellowed them out. It's also a great muscle relaxer, so athletes can also enjoy use of it. Seroquel is especially helpful in treating alcohol and drug addiction- ie. cocaine addiction. It totally removes the urge to drink or dope up, as two friends that were originally addicted to cocaine were able to get off cocaine due to the use of Seroquel. In effect Seroquel may be a promising treatment for alcohol and drug dependance. What is Seroquel? � Seroquel is an antipsychotic medication.

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.
No, Seroquel is not a sleep aid. However, some people who take it report that it makes them sleep soundly.
AnswerNo, it's not actually licensed to prescribe for a sleep aid. It is proven to be more sedating in low dose though. For most, not all it's 200mg and lower.-I was specifically prescribed seroquel for use as a sleeping aid. Whether or not the FDA labels it as such I am not certain. This is common practice amongst medical professionals.
Answer
Although Seroquel® (quetiapine fumarate) is not FDA-approved for sleep disorders or anxiety, many physicians prescribe low doses of the drug, off-label, to treat those conditions. Clinical studies and empirical data indicate Seroquel® is an effective, non-addictive alternative to medications specifically formulated for insomnia.
Seroquel® may be used longterm for chronic insomnia in some people.
Be aware that it is perfectly legal and legitimate for a doctor to prescribe medication for use in disorders other than those indicated by the FDA.
Does the doctor perscribe percocet and seroquel together?
This depends on the doctor prescribing and what the patient has been diagnosed with.
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.
How do you ween yourself off seroquel?
Get your doctor to gradually lower you off the drug until you can be completely taken of to avoid severe headache withdrawal and other symptoms
Can Seroquil and abilify affect Depo-Provera?
from personal experience no.....if any form of mood stabilizers anti psychotics or any other form of psychosis meds could affect birth control they would tell you when you went to get it......they will ask what you are taking and if you get the shot if it is going to have any effect they will tell you that it wont work........but in my personal experience it has always been effective.......

What happened when you take ambien 10mg and seroquel 50mg together?
Ambien® (Gen: zolpidem) is a sedative/hypnotic (sleeping pill) and Seroquel® has sedating properties. If you take a normal dose of each (under doctor's supervision), you will fall asleep faster, but may have difficulty getting up in the morning and may feel drugged and lethargic most of the day.
Don't take this combination unless you can get 8 or 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. If you start taking both at the same time, you can pretty much write off the next two days.
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.

Will seroquel make you forgetful?
The medication Seroquel is used to treat bipolar disorder and depression and can cause dizziness, tiredness, and sleepiness. Confusion and memory loss is not a common side effect of the medication.
Has anyone who has stopped taking seroquel cold turkey had non-stop itching especially at night?
The experts suggest that you avoid certain food and drink that can make the itch worse, like coffee, beer, and super sugary snacks, but in reality, if you are experiencing the withdrawals like I am, these things feel pretty necessary right now, and I'm not too keen to give them up. I've found that taking an allergy pill/anti-histamine helps quell the itch, as does submerging your body in a hot bath. I'm sure that the Aveeno oatmeal bath designed to help alleviate itch is probably also helpful in easing the incredible itches.
Also, watch for nausea, night-time vomiting, and a sudden sensitivity to every bug that is floating around, (I quit Seroquel two weeks ago, and in addition to still having symptoms like the itchiness, I have also had the flu and just got a cold). This wouldn't be weird, except that while I was on the Seroquel, I swear I was sort of superhuman in terms of what I could put my body through and still feel well. It might just have been that I was sleeping so much on it. Eventually though, I realized that I wasn't 'myself' on the pill. I kept having ideas that I was going to get better and feel better, but I couldn't follow through on anything, and wasn't inspired whatsoever, and felt like a loser. Since stopping the pill, I really feel like I am coming back to myself. I am still taking Cipralex for my bi-polar, but after learning that Seroquel was dangerous for some people long term and would make it near impossible to have a baby on it, I decided it was time to give it up.
I'm glad I did. Despite the terrible itch.
Will Seroquel show up as positive on the Tricyclic Antidepressant panel of a drug test?
As part of an ongoing treatment study of co-occurring bipolar mania and cannabis abuse in adolescents, we obtained bi-monthly urine toxicology screens using the Status DS™ immunoassay. It was noted that the first five subjects initially tested negative for tricylcic antidepressants (TCAs) but all five tested positive after being treated with topiramate or placebo and quetiapine. All of the patients denied using TCAs, but were forthcoming regarding their drug use. A quetiapine trough blood level was also obtained on the same morning that the urine toxicology screens were performed and the results paralleled the TCA toxicology findings, i.e., when subjects showed quetiapine in their serum (5.1 to 85 ng/ml), they tested positive for TCAs. However, when two of the subjects were non-adherent to their medications and their quetiapine levels were undetectable, their toxicology screens were negative for TCAs. After these two patients were encouraged to take their medications and had detectable quetiapine levels, they once again tested positive for TCIt looks like Seroquel will show up as a positive for TCA panel.
Will Seroquel turn up in a drug screen?
Seroquel (quetiapine) does not show up on a drug screen. It is not currently classified as a substance of potential abuse (although some individuals have abused Seroquel for its sedative effects).
What is a side effect seroquel?
It could kill you. Don't do it. It is a central nervous system depressent and has been linked to diabetes. It is an excellent drug to treat schizophrenia and bipolor disorder, but should not be abused. See a psychologist to treat your addictions.
Only the people that take a high does everyday (so basically the people that are prescribed it) get diabetes due to weight gain which is one of its side effects. It is either because of over eating or because it slows down your metabolism, they don't really know.

What is the dosing for seroquel xr?
In my experience, the dosage is one (25mg) pill immediately before going to bed for the elderly. (Elderly here being over 68 years of age). Can also be prescribed not only by age but also by considering the tolerance of these sorts of drugs in the individual and the weight of the individual. Hope this helps.
Can you take Seroquel and Prozac 20 mg together?
Yes, in fact, Seroquel taken in the evening can help with the insomnia caused by Effexor.
I have seen them prescribed together. As always one should check with their psychiatrist to make sure it is not contraindicated for them.
Snorting any Seroquel is too much. The drug is not intended to be snorted and using it in that way could lead to unwanted side effects. If you're wondering how much is too much then you probably realize you should reconsider all together.
