Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

These medications are absolutely safe to use together. Prozac, mirtazapine, and quetiapine work together to help treat depression. Sometimes when starting new medications you can get an anxiety reaction, but this will go away within 2 weeks. Until then, do some deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation. You will feel better soon!
