Anything you do that can alter your brain chemicals will interfere with your medication. The medication is designed to work with your brain chemicals and create a balance. If you use drugs or drink alcohol it will interfere. It just depends on how serious you are about your mental health and whether or not you want the seroquel to work.

Wait, I am sorry, I hope that didnt sound snobby, I didnt mean it that way. I am not perfect, I drink and have smoked pot, I was just saying it will interfere and we have to be strong and avoid drugs and alcohol as much as possible if we want our brain chemicals to stay in balance.

Seroquel and pot??? Laugh, Canada, I'd never wake up! I used to take seroquel and it helped. But, I had to cut the dose in half in order to be able to function during the day. I always fell asleep after smoking pot, laugh, after eating half a pizza of course. The pot itsel would probably be a good med for me.

I've taken Seroquel and smoked weed MANY, MANY times, and the dose of Seroquel was a high one. Weed doesn't put me to sleep, and at this point in my treatment, Seroquel only helps me to sleep unlike when I first began taking it and it knocked me out.

My advice is, don't take Seroquel and smoke a joint because it will be a waste of your marijuana. The med will knock you out and you won't be able to enjoy your high. Just my two cents!

I'm in the process of getting off of Seroquel for weight gain and diabetes related issues. I don't think I would smoke pot and take seroquel. I take it at night to help me sleep and it knocks me on my butt. Please be careful.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
