Does anyone take both Effexor XR and Seroquel?!
Question:
Does anyone take both Effexor XR and Seroquel?
My mom is taking both Effexor XR and Seroquel. She takes 200 mg Seroquel at night and we are working up to 75 mg of Effexor in the morning. I recently read about drug interactions and heart problems when taking both of these drugs together. Does anyone else have information on that? Are they safe to take together? Also, she is experiencing nausea and some dizziness. Does this go away? Thanks.
Answers:
If she got both meds from the same pharmacy, they would have told her if there was drug interaction between the two. I do know that Effexor is hard to wean off, and Seroquel increases the risk of diabetes.
I would talk to her doctor about the side effects she's experiencing (nausea and dizziness).
Hope this helps!
