Just to clarify, Seroquel is not in the antidepressant category of drugs but rather in the "atypical antipsychotic" category. However, it is FDA approved for treatment of depression in Bipolar 1 Disorder. It is also approved for acute mania in Bipolar 1 Disorder. It is currently the only drug in its class approved for both, and it is approved either as monotherapy or as an adjunct to Lithium or Valproate (e.g. Depakote.)
It is often prescribed off label in low to moderate doses for insomnia. I know people who take 100-200mg nightly for insomnia. Also, there are current studies taking place that may result in its approval for anxiety, as an alternative to benzodiazepines. Seroquel is not habit forming like the benzos, yet yields much of the same effects in low doses.
Depakote, like Seroquel, will give your liver a good workout so DO NOT drink while on either of these medications. Generally, its safe to say don't drink on any psycotropic drugs. These particular two medications cause the liver to metabolize alcohol more slowly, thus increasing the effect of alcohol.
If you want to know all the information, more than what the Dr. and Pharmacist will tell you, just got to Seroquel.com and Depakote.com. Complete info and prescribing information is available.
I take 400mg Seroquel, 2000mg Depakote, 10-20mg Valium at night. I also take 150mg Zoloft in the a.m. I have Bipolar I Disorder.
I don't recommend it, I did so, and experienced self-induced seizures. You can take Depakote with Tramadol as long as you don't exceed more than 3 a day. I am on both meds and the pharamists told me that and I have lived by it, and I have not had seizures but then again I am taking Depakote for BiPolar Disorder not epilepsy.
100mg/2ml or 250mg/2ml
250mg 3 po qhs
4 tablets is equals 100mg which equals 1g therefore the answer is 4 tablets
no.That is ridiculous. Your child is on a crazy amount of medication, the doctor obvoisly does not know what he/she is doing. Sedation is ruining this kid's childhood.Try just the Metadate for a week. ADHD is not treated with Seroquel. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic with strong sedative properties that makes the child appear to be calm. Seroquel is also only FDA approved for patients over the age of 18 for Bipolar mania and Schizophrenia.In other words, your doctor is a quack, and that is not safe.This is malpractice.------------------------------------------------As an amendment to this answer I'll usually be quick to defend the recommendations of a doctor but I've only seen 200-300mg of seroquel given to patients who are in need of a strong antipsychotic. In fact in the normal treatment of bipolar mania I believe it's usually given out in doses of 25-100mg for adult males...so for a 5 year old child I would certainly say you're within rights to want a second opinion.

No they are the same thing - hcl stands for hydrochloric acid which is the salt in the cephalexin capsules.
Oh, so you're going to take the advice of a random person on the internet instead of following her doctor's advice? If you think there is something hinky with his prescription, you need to consult a different doctor for a second opinion.
Drinking should be discussed before hand with the prescribing doctor. Depakote does make some people drowsy, and can cause some liver problems relatively quickly. It's best to discuss this before with the doctor. You should not drink alcohol while taking Depakote, whether you have bipolar or not is not an issue. It's a matter of the medication, not the illness. Personal Experience: I take the 500mg depakote twice a day for epilepsy and know my limits. Depakote can easily make you drowsy and tired so whenever I decide to have alcohol I only have 1 or 2 light beers such as Bud Light, Coors Light, or Miller Light. Plus, I only drink once or twice a month. When I went to a dinner years ago a buddy decided to treat me to a beer. I decided to have a bottle of Heineken but pretty soon I started getting dizzy and tired.
