Can you take abilify with seroquel?

i am not a trained/certified physician. however, i asked my psychiatric nurse practitioner this same question yesterday, and she said it would be fine. she has other patients that are on both.

i proposed the question, as i really like abilify (mood-wise), but it keeps me awake for days, and makes me feel really agitated physically, where as seroquel helps me sleep. 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. Also to this day I can't control facial tics and I have not taken Abilify for almost two years. I was never warned that this would happen or become permanent.

How long does seroquil stay in your system?

Seroquel has a half-life of 6 hours, meaning that every six hours, half of the original amount of Serouel remains in your system. it stays in your system about 2 days it depends on the test they give you..lab test standard urine stick test..but chances are if your getting drug tested and you have no prescription...dont TAKE IT!

Is it safe to take 100mg seroquel and 250mg depakote er together?

Just to clarify, Seroquel is not in the antidepressant category of drugs but rather in the "atypical antipsychotic" category. However, it is FDA approved for treatment of depression in Bipolar 1 Disorder. It is also approved for acute mania in Bipolar 1 Disorder. It is currently the only drug in its class approved for both, and it is approved either as monotherapy or as an adjunct to Lithium or Valproate (e.g. Depakote.)

It is often prescribed off label in low to moderate doses for insomnia. I know people who take 100-200mg nightly for insomnia. Also, there are current studies taking place that may result in its approval for anxiety, as an alternative to benzodiazepines. Seroquel is not habit forming like the benzos, yet yields much of the same effects in low doses.

Depakote, like Seroquel, will give your liver a good workout so DO NOT drink while on either of these medications. Generally, its safe to say don't drink on any psycotropic drugs. These particular two medications cause the liver to metabolize alcohol more slowly, thus increasing the effect of alcohol.

If you want to know all the information, more than what the Dr. and Pharmacist will tell you, just got to Seroquel.com and Depakote.com. Complete info and prescribing information is available.

I take 400mg Seroquel, 2000mg Depakote, 10-20mg Valium at night. I also take 150mg Zoloft in the a.m. I have Bipolar I Disorder.

Is alcohol seroquel and Klonopin mixed fatal?

It depends on how much you do. Me and my friends were all on Klonopin (4 each), yola, and Seroquel (1 or 2) and we killed a 24 pack of Corona and only one of my boys ended up pukin his brains out and that's only cus he killed five beers in like two hours. You just got to know you're limits and DRINK SLOW, cus alcohol intensifies those drugs already. And don't go super crazy on the pills.

But none of us felt like we were gonna die.

Can you die from seroquel?

I asked myself that same question, came to the conclusion that yes you can, but if you screw it up, it is an anti psycotic, someone will change your diapers for life.... not worth it in the end. Taken that you are on seroquel like me........ there is a reason, I'm bipolar, suicidal thoughts are with me everyday. Either you make it or you don't, one day at a time baby, when it gets too rough minute by minute... that is how i cope.

What is the street value of seroquel?

Depends who wants to buy it. Some people will buy them to use them for a good sleep after a bunch of cocaine.. Some people will buy them to knock themselves out for a plane ride or a bus ride. At high doses 600 mgs or more they give off mild mdma like effects, if you dont get knocked on your backside. The pills themselves are almost worth 5$ each at the pharm.. So I would say they'd be worth about $5 or $10 on the street.

How do you clean seroquel out your system?

Listen. Whatever you do, even if prescribed it, DON'T TAKE SEROQUEL! I took some from a friend yesterday, and I had to be sent home, and I think she might be getting arrested. I slept for 20 hours straight, and I'm STILL not able to react fast enough to things, my head still feels heavy, and my tongue is NUMB. Someone told me that you're supposed to start off at 50 mg, and the one pill that I took was 300 mg. Please, don't do it.

How long does the high last from seroquel?

First, stay away from drug company sites. They don't seem to be very honest about side effects, their severity or how long they last. Secondly, your doctor may TRY to help but he or she only knows what the drug companies are claiming. Do a Google search and find an online med withdrawal support group. Drugs.com has some great resources and groups. I've heard of side effects lasting as much as a year. But then I've spoken to people who have had NO side effects (or withdrawals) at all. ~ T

How long does it take seroquel?

i have found that the side effects of serouel (drowsiness restless feet etc...) last between 6 to 9 hours. however the antipsyhcotic effect seems to last right through the next day if you are taking your dose at night with your main meal side effects seem to hang on a little longer for some reason and may have trouble waking up next morning so i have tended to take my seroquel about an hour before my main meal and sleep right through the side effedcts.

It also slows down your metabolism and decreases your thyroid hormones, drastically. The weight gain is hard and fast, within the first 12 weeks (3 months) of starting treatment.

I gained 80lbs in three months from being on seroquel, lexapro and tegretol. All the exercise in the world and dieting didn't help it. The only thing that is helping is reducing the amount of those drugs in my system.

Can Motrin be taken with seroquel?

Yes, you can depending upon what your dosage of Seroquel is. Withdrawing from Seroquel caused me to experience severe chest pain and high blood pressure the first few days after each dosage cut. After I had the chest pain thoroghly checked out to make sure there was nothing seriously wrong, my Dr. gave me a prescription for low dose tramadol to take those first few days at each lower seroqel dose so that I could function. You should talk to your physician though--the CNS depressive side effects of Seroquel and Tramadol are additive.....so I imagine you might not be able to take it if you are on a lot of Seroquel.
