Does Quetiapine Interact With Bipolar Disorder Medicines?

Take Pristiq, lamotragine, lithium for bipolar, depression and anxiety. I also take morphine and Norco for failed cervical surgery and am on federal disability. I have severe insomnia and doctor prescribed quetiapine and risoeridone for sleep but I m afraid of mixing the bipolar meds.

Hello,

This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood conditions (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, sudden episodes of mania or depression associated with bipolar disorder). Quetiapine is known as an anti-psychotic drug (atypical type).

It may also improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level.
