They are very different drugs. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, whereas Valium is a benzodiazepine. both drugs can cause sedation, but generally they aren't interchangable, as they have substantially different effects.

How far apart should seroquel and percocet be administered?

I don't know if this helps but I am a 41yo man and i am prescribed Klonopin and Seroquel (Klonopin is about the same drug as Valium, same family but i think klonopin is a little stronger) anyway I take them both at the same time in the morning (1mg Klonopin, 300mg Seroquel) and at night (2mg Klonopin, 300mg Seroquel). I also take 1mg twice during the day. I have no problem with it except the Seroquel makes me drowsy and hungry. My Dx is Bi-polar schizo-affective and general anxiety disorder. Hope this helps.

Is haloperidol a controlled substance?

In England Qutiapine i{seroquel} is only available on prescription from a doctor so yes ,here it is a controlled drug. In the USA, a controlled substance is more strictly regulated that other prescription drugs. Seroquel (Quetiapine) is available by prescription only, but it is not a government controlled substance. So, you're answer is no, it's not. That said, it is still sometimes sold as a street drug, although not as popular as benzodiazepines such as Valium or xanax (which are controlled substances). Some people think that Seroquel abuse is too common and it should be a controlled substance.
