Can Seroquel, Valium, Cogentin, Urecholine And Prilosec Be Taken Together?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
These drugs are all safe to use together -- there are no major interactions or contraindications to using them all at the same time for treatment. One thing to be aware of -- many of these drugs are sedating (Seroquel, Valium, Cogentin, Neurontin), so be advised that their use together might potentiate those effects and result in a lot of sedation. However, this is not dangerous.

My son was diagnosed with Neuromalignant Syndrome in 1998 due to a drug reaction between Mellaril and Luvox. The neurologist didn't believe the ER Dr. who said he was having a drug reaction and administered Haldol which sent him over the edge. His symptoms were very atypical with no high fever and it took 3 doctors and a pharmacologist 3 days to get the correct diagnosis.
He has been on Seroquel for 12 or 13 years and his diagnosing doctor has moved and the current doctors don't know why he was originally put on it.
He has been having all the side effects of a reaction with Seroquel but the group home management does not agree. Ex. Difficulty swallowing---diagnosed a year ago with aspiration pneumonia and now has all pureed food with honey thick liquids.
After taking Seoquel he is very agitated so he has been given Valium to counteract this. He gets Seroquel at 6am, 11am, and 2pm 6pm, 9pm. He is not sleeping well so Neurontin has been added to this regimen.
My son was diagnosed with Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome in 1998 due to a drug reaction between Mellaril and Luvox. The ER Dr. recognized a drug reaction but didn't specify what it was. The neurologist didn't accept this and administered Haldol which sent him over the edge. His symptoms were atypical with no high fever and it took 3 Drs. 3 days to diagnose him with NMS.
He is highly allergic to a number of medications and is having all the side effects of a reaction with Seroquel but the group home management does not agree. Ex. Difficulty swallowing-diagnosed a year ago with aspiration pneumonia, spent 8 days in the hospital and now has all pureed foods with honey thick liquids.
After taking Seroquel he is agitated so he has been given Valium to counteract this. He gets Seroquel in the am at 6, ll, and pm at 2, 6, and 9. He is not sleeping well so Neurontin has been added to the regimin.
I would appreciate any suggestions you have. Thanks.
