Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
I'm sorry your mother is having a difficult time. Let me try to help.
The medications you list do not conflict with one another. For aggression in patients with dementia, Seroquel is actually a great medication. Her doctors appear to be prescribing her low doses, which is wonderful, because it minimizes side effects. If she has become more tearful and aggressive lately, you could even bump up the Seroquel to 100mg and see if that helps her. But to me, her regimen appears to be safe.
