Is It Safe To Take Seroquel Along With Venlafaxine And Clonidine?

default
Posted on Mon, 24 Nov 2014
Question: I am currently on Seroquel and just starting taking Venlafaxine today for alcohol withdrawal(6 and 1/2 weeks into detox). I take them for anxiety and also to help me sleep. My doctor also prescribed clonidine to help with the blood pressure spikes and anxiety. Do you think these medications react relatively safely?

Brief Answer:
No serious drug interactions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

I understand your query and concern.

The three drugs namely Seroquel, Venlafaxine , Clonidine have no specific or reasonable or significant drug interactions with each other.

Of course these drugs are associated with low incidence of tolerable side effects like constipation,heartburn.

Still these drugs have got relatively a good safety profile.


You are currently receiving an excellent treatment from your doctor as per the protocol on alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

I hope i have answered your query at the moment.

Post your further queries if any.

Thankyou.
