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: 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.

Re: Sameoldbs (# 10)
I'm just being prescribed Seraquel for a dissociative disorder along with Cymbalta. I'm an RN and i read all info regarding any drugs esp mixing of drugs and different classes. I never really paid it anymore when i was abusing pain medications and became a full time walking drug addict !!! 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

Re: josh (# 5)
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!

Hello, Peter! How are you doing?
Some caution does need to be taken, when taking these medications together, because they can increase the toxicity of each other, so that could be what's causing your problem.
Have you consulted your doctor? You may need them to make a dosage adjustment.

you are very pretentious and either have never experienced addiction or just someone that's lucky enough to be completely sober again, but this addiction makes us do weird s*** for a temporary problem to stop the horrible feeling that seems obvious to everyone else that just going through it will make us better but methadone and Xanax are a whole different monster that physically ties us to something we were dumb enough to take to not be sick and now is life threatening and feels way worse to stop. This guy is on a real high dose of methadone so he obviously had a bad habit and most likely control problems that most of us addicts have and like most people doesn't have this as common sense because unless you have mental or drug problems it's likely knowledge like this isn't needed. I didn't when a Dr knowingly prescribed me this same bipolar sleep medicine knowing im deep into a methadone program im slowly trying to get off of, but worse, both drs knew i had a benzo addiction on top of opioids and am also still trying to safely get off of without having a seizure. So maybe don't be so rude to someone doing research and learning the hard way what is not safe. And Seroquel isn't that strong when you've gone through serious opiate addiction. Believe me, we have more tolerance than an animal who never uses or abuses narcotics. I know how far you can push your body's limits and believe that i am now f***ed when it comes to pain and anxiety. I pushed too far. Now none of it really stops the inner panic. It just makes it a little less overwhelming. Stop being a **** and let people ask these questions without being put down.

I am on your same dose. I take 100 milligrams of methadone a day and 400 milligrams of Seroquel (200 in the morning, 200 at night). A couple of times that I have run out of Seroquel because I wasn't careful enough I thought I was literally going to die. I didn't sleep for almost a week and also couldn't eat a thing as my bowels didn't go one way or the other. They just sat there in my stomach. I thought I was going to die over and over. I would have so much rather ran out of the methadone than the Seroquel. I guarantee you if you've been taking that much Seroquel and methadone you do not want to run out of the Seroquel. It'll be the most god-awful feeling and if it doesn't affect you like that, you're certainly not me. I'm telling you it almost killed me.

You need to get off of seroquel right now, and educate yourself. Combining a tranquilizer strong enough to kill a lion, with methadone? A medication that takes 6 hours to kick it, so you cant gauge how much to dose unless you've been dosing for quite some time. If you want to die, keep taking what your taking. I'd say you have a legal case in your hands against your doctor. Your doctor should not be prescribing seroquel while knowing your on methadone. Anyways, you need a LIGHT and SAFER SLEEP MED. SEE if klonopin puts you to sleep. If so, your are VERY lucky, and you should start using that and only that, 3 mg at most for sleep. Trust me I know, I used to fall asleep for 12 hours off 1 mg, now I take klonopin to stay awake! My brain got fried after they f***ed me over with seroquel and lamotrigine! I swear to god its been a 10 year battle, and I have to have a weekly marijuana habit of $100 just to keep down withdrawal symptoms. I'm so maxed out on my benzos I can take 10mg of xanax and feel nothing. The only time I get stoned anymore? Is when I'm ON METHADONE. Basically what Im saying, is, my brain is fried after listening to therapists prescribing lyrica, ssris, mtaos, zoloft, lamotrigine, lamictal, depakote, seroquel....these are all VERY BAD FOR THE HUMAN BODY AND MIND. Seroquel ESPECIALLY is A DEATH WISH.
