> Any cocktail of meds can cause synnergistic reactions with other drugs...for example when I took risperdal i took it with max dose of zoloft...In the official documentation on their website it says when taking with Fluorexetine it can increase plasma of risperdal 3.5-5-9 fold...and the documentation doesn't even specify the dosage of the ssri taken which for me was max dose of zoloft...So when you mix drugs together the brain is altered much more radically...and when we are dealing with pharmacueticals here especially i'm conerned about the seroquel since it is a atypical neuroleptic...the interaction can be pretty harmful to brain cells...So most likely it was a combination although your friend may still believe it was remeron and I can't for sure say your friend is wrong either...It could have been rameron in his system with the other drugs when he took it made him to lose his drive... b/c I think it was just risperdal for me that did it b/c I took max dose of ssris for 2 years prior and had a massive sex drive... it could also have been a combination as well...It is important to not just think about what the drug targeted but specifically what each drug by themselves depleted...I would go to pubmed and do some researching on that...I know risperdal depletes l-glutamate/l-glutathione stores which is responsible for gaba reception and it also polarizes d2 receptors...But each drug depletes something in the brain and destroys it...Whats important again tho is to not overanylize it and work with essentially slightly absent-minded experimentation...No one will no in a billion years the exact reactions that were done to the brain with the cocktail administered...But that doesn't mean it can't be healed and be back to near homeostasis again...through experimentation...;)
