Q: im currently taking vyance 50 mg for adhd..

vyance has increased my panic attacks incredibly higher than they use to be. I was taking 100 mg of seroqoul for my panics and also for sleep. recently my doctor took me off the seroq. and put me back on klonpin 1 mg to decrease panics. i see no change. im still having panics through out the day.he also lets me play with each of those meds to see what works for me. I was wondering if i did take 50mg of seroq. with 1 mg of klonpin would that be safe?

These are questions your doctor should answer - they not only require expertise in psychotropic drugs but also knowledge of your history and specific drug reactions and interactions. You're taking an amphetimine stimulant for adhd together with drugs that have sedative effects for panic attacks. I've read that there is an interaction between klonopin (clonazepam) and seroquel. Klonopin calms you down to alleviate anxiety and panic, and seroquel is an antipsychotic that is listed as one of the most sedating of all drugs in that class. That's probably why your doctor took you off seroquel before starting klonopin.

 

You should ask your doctor for specific information anytime you have a concern. These are all powerful drugs so I'd be careful about experimenting on your own.
