Actually i have ran out of seroquel too :( but i didn't have any bad side effects really. I'm on a lot of other meds too tho and i wasn't out of them so that may be why u got sick and i didn't. I take 10mg remeron, 8mg prazosin, 1200mg neurontin, 225mg effexor xr. Since u take seroquel with methadone let me ask u something: As u know seroquel basically stops your metabolism. I know it does to me bc i never eat and im not losing weight, but i was wondering if it also slows the metabolism of the methadone? I can actually miss a day of methadone and i feel fine! Before seroquel if i missed my dose i was miserable. Another thing that happened: I took 4 30mgs of adderall over 2 days. I had a UDS 11 days later and i popped for amphetamines and it was still high at 380 and the cut off is 100. idk i was just wondering... Any thoughts?

Actually, I'm a recovering opioid addict; started on pills when I was prescribed 600mg of oxy a day.

Seroquel is actually used in many hospitals now as a opaque detox protocol.

You have trusted doctors and that's probably why your life is so f***ed up. Don't worry, I'm not judging you. I used to listen to every word the doctor said and took it as gospel. Unfortunately, that never has worked out too well for anyone...

All you are is $$$$ to any medical prescriber. All one has to do is look at treatment in other country's to know America has done way too little to help addicts...

You do know opiate addiction can be cured with natural substances right?

I have taken 200 mg of seroquel and 80 mg of methadone for years but I do not take my seroquel in the morning only at night. I can not function on seroquel I have taken it for12 years and it always knocks me out. I have to take it and lay down do not get back up because seroquel is made to slow your respiratory system down if I do get up my heart thumps like crazy it’s scary!! So I just go straight to bed!! As for it helping with my bipolar and anxiety during the day yes and no I take 150 mg of Effexor it’s a perfect combination for me they balance each other out!! If the seroquel is to much go down to 25 mg but remember don’t take it during the day if u do take like 5 or 10 mg. Hope this helps you out!! By the way 280 mg of methadone? I can’t get up pass 80!!! My doc doesn’t understand how methadone works!!

The dude that thinks that Seroquel is a death wish is obviously only educated through his own personal experience. I've been taking it for about 10 years now and it saved my life. I have a serious mental illness that causes me to not think rationally in stressful situations and it helped with my thought process. Seroquel works differently for everyone. The one gentleman on here - obviously it's not the right drug for him. NOW for educated info on combining these two drugs, talk to your doctor. There's a diagnostic that they have to keep an eye on if you're on both, called an ekg. It's to monitor your heartbeat. Mixing the two especially if you're on a high dose of Seroquel can cause irregular heartbeat, irregular heart rhythms or even cause your heart to all of a sudden stop beating period. So it's a good idea to be on a very low dose of Seroquel when taking methadone or even go on something else altogether. Hope you find this helpful.

Re: Mpoturich (# 17)

Ok. 1st of all your info is errrr WRONG!!!! Ive been on 110 mg methadone for 15 years at the same clinic and over the years ive effed up n failed drug panels. Still got my dose just had to go to the clinic every day n got a take home for sunday. Now ive been clean for yrs & i go once a month to get a bottle of 40mg wafers or "biscuits" and i have a prescription for 90 2mg klonopin. I take 1/2 of one (1mg) when needed. The clinic just makes me bring my pills in to count n make sure im not over using them. I'm also prescribed 100mg seroquel to take 3xs a day, however i RARELY take only ONE at night if i really cant sleep and have nothing to do the next day. Ive had my 1st bottle for over a year with 2 refills still left. I am a homeowner, live alone with 2 cars and absolutely no debt (house n cars paid off). I pay bills early and have saved over 10k $ after being a homeless drug addict in my entire 20s n 30s. Methadone, klonopin, prozac & seroquel have saved my life. My family accepts me now and i have a very responsible 17 yr old on her way to college. People can change and meds can help. I plan on reducing my doses over time. Did i mention i started taking pain meds bc i was hit head on at 60mph which shattered my legs n feet which caused my opiate addiction in the 1st place at age 19? I now live happily and comfortably, because I WANTED A BETTER LIFE AND MEDS HELPED. Peace

Re: Arcangel (# 28)

Yes u can but make sure u dont have to get up early the 1st time u take the seroquel to see how it affects you. Ive taken seoquel when i was in jail w no methadone and it barely affected me. So imo the methadone does increase its effects.

10mg a day of Xanax and I assume the usual benzo cocktails consisting of Diazepam, Clonazepam, Oxazepem etc. $100 a week for marijuana, a daily dose of methadone and it’s not happening for you? Try tapering off all that rubbish. The body can heal itself.

So now I'm a freak about anything i take and anything prescribed by a dr i research the crap out of it and i happened upon these blogs!!! Ok so I'm NOT going to continue to use these drugs wnynore! So thanks so much

Can you safely take seroquel with methadone, cause I really can't sleep? Can I also consume cannabis?

Re: MamaWells (# 25)

It's because your heart is slowing down . I've had to decrease my seroquel drastically bc my heart was messing up. My methadone doctor is constantly monitoring my heart
This is a reality for everyone that mixes seroquel and methadone. IT IS a bad mix. It will make your heart stop beating so I would get that thumping checked out ! Any flutters, thumping or shortness of breath should be checked. I hope this helped. i know this from experience. Good luck and take care!
