Xanax and seroquel overdose

SassyRocks · August 9, 2019, 5:07pm

My best friend’s 25 year old son overdosed on Monday from a mixture of xanax (prescribed for anxiety) and seroquel (prescribed for sleep). They aren’t sure if it was intentional or accidental, but either way he is dead. He was in rehab for xanax abuse a few months ago. He only had 10 xanax in his prescription, but it does not mix well with seroquel, especially when abusing either instead of taking as directed.

He was a sweet kid. He got into drugs after surviving a terrible fire and being burned over much of his body. He recovered, but scars…emotional and physical remained.

I’m sorry to hear this your friend must be heartbroken and you too, sorry for both of your losses.
There needs to be more awareness about drug interactions with all benzos, I’ve been brought back twice from a mix of benzos and opiates, I’m one of the lucky ones

I hear you…the amount of years I spent mixing all sorts of prescribed and non prescribed drugs in my body…I am amazed any of us are alive sometimes.

It is heartbreaking.

This definitely could have been me. It really is sad. Giving Seroquel for sleep is ridiculous and dangerous. I just finally got off of Seroquel a few weeks ago and the process was absolute torture.

My thoughts and love go out to you all.
