Is It Safe To Take Seroquel In A Span Of 3 Hours ?

I just started taking 50/mg of Zoloft in addition to my ~2 months of Wellbutrin, 300/mg, and month and a half of Seroquel 25/mg. Starting Zoloft has immediately caused insomnia, and with my already low daily energy I barely have the capacity to get out of bed. The Seroquel can give me 3 or so hours of sleep, and I ve taken 2 in the past 27 hours, the most recent being 8 hours ago. I need to get some amount of sleep today, so is it safe to take another Seroquel in about 3 hours? Could I possibly take a pill and a half also? After today I m going to call my doctor to arrange a better plan.

Hello and thanks for your question. It is safe in this case to take an extra seroquel but you need to consult your doctor for a better plan to make sure that you are sleeping. Wellbutrin and zoloft can both cause insomnia and both need to be taken in the morning. I would not suggest taking the pill and a half until you consult your doctor
I hope you are getting some good sleep soon.
