A member asked:

Remeron and seroquel (quetiapine). both can be sedating and both can potentially cause weight gain. does that mean doctors would usually avoid combining them?

Not necessarily : This combination may be helpful and is not necessarily avoided. For instance, a patient who is depressed, has lost weight and who has insomnia may benefit from this combination. This is a great question and it points out the need for people to see doctors who have experience with these medications.
