I used to take Prozac for depression and Seroquel for sleep problems. But I always took them at different times until I stopped, and now I am concerned for my health. Are there any side effects to take these two medicine together?

Yes, but only under a doctor's supervision. They are in two different classes of medication and there have been no studies saying they counteract each other. Antidepressants and antipsychotics are calmly prescribed together. I have worked with several clients that were on both and I myself have been on both together with no side-effects, nor long-term effects. If you have further questions I advise you to talk to your doctor.

I take Prozac, Seroquel, Lithium, and Risperidal together. I havent had any problems but again it is always BEST to ask your Phsychiatrist because everyone is different and these medications effect everyone differently. Why did you stop taking them? You shouldnt just STOP taking them either because this could make things worse. Your body is trying to gain a balance and that just throws it off.

you can call wall greens or any 24 hour pharmacy and explain the situation or you can call poison controll ( should be in the front of the phone book ) and ask them . If you are taking seroquel just to sleep I would suggest trying a melatonin supplement I have insomnia and it puts me out without the hangover of seroquel the next day and it is safer than seroquel and you can buy it at most drug stores or at health food stores like GNC

I was prescribed these together in the past with no ill side effects. Do check with your doc or pharmacist, but if you are getting them at the same pharmacy, the pharmacist is aware you are taking both and would have said something to you or called your doc if it was a problem.

I would recommend getting in touch with your pharmacist as well to see.

If your doctor prescribed both, it's okay.
