Can I take a Xanax after taking Seroquel?
I'm on 150 seroquel ever night for insomnia. After 5 months of not having panic attacks, I started having them really bad again. ( My mom died when I was 17 from breast/brain cancer, and I watched her suffer before she actually passed. And her birthday is right around the corner, so I'm having a hard time dealing with it. Anyway's, I was wanting to take a (yellow) stick of xanax for my nerves because I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack any minute. But I wasn't sure if I could take it with me being on seroquel?? I'm NOT wanting to take them at the same time!!!! I was going to take the stick instead of my seroquel for tonight.So my question is, is it safe for mentioned take the Xanax with me regularly being on the seroquel? I know there are some medications that you have to come off for 2 weeks before taking others.

Taking Xanax after Seroquel is a bit risky and needs the OK from a doctor.
Perhaps a a chemist or pharmacist can give you a reliable answer.
Most sleeping problems are probably caused by stress, depression, anxiety, nervousness and worry as well as being too keyed up.
Sleeping pills are unhealthy and can give you bad side effects such as headaches and drowsiness during the day so you are better off without them.
To sleep better just relax and switch off, if you can.
If you are having trouble switching off at bedtime some light exercise (for example, push ups or sit ups) at bedtime often helps you to relax, unwind and switch off and that often improves your sleep. Strenuous exercise at bedtime is likely to ruin your sleep.
Common OTC sleep aids include Chamomile tea, 5-HTP, Melatonin and Valerian Root.
Sleep enhancing foods include warm milk, turkey, cherries, oatmeal, bananas and wine.
