A member asked:
Can you drink on seroquel (quetiapine) if its several hours after taking it or before taking it? so basically you have to decide between meds or alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, basically: It's of course your decision, but you're dealing with at least 2 things here: the basic condition for which seroquel (quetiapine) was prescribed, plus the enhanced sedative effects of alcohol when added to seroquel (quetiapine). On its own, alcohol can destabilize mood and sleep cycle -- which is problematic in bipolar disorder, plain depression, and psychotic disorders. Also, taking both could make you drunker, faster.
