Can I take Quetiamine and Tramadol together?

Drug interaction guide

Taking quetiapine and tramadol together can increase the risk of serious side effects, including extreme sleepiness, breathing difficulties, and a rare but dangerous condition called serotonin syndrome. There is also an increased risk of having a seizure (a fit).

Why this happens

Both drugs affect chemicals in the brain (serotonin and dopamine) and slow down the central nervous system. Tramadol can lower the 'seizure threshold', making fits more likely, and quetiapine can add to this effect. Additionally, both drugs can affect the electrical rhythm of the heart.

What you should do

You should only take these two medicines together if they have been specifically prescribed by your doctor with full knowledge of your medication list. Seek immediate medical help if you experience extreme drowsiness, confusion, fast heartbeat, muscle stiffness, or difficulty breathing. Your doctor may need to adjust your doses or monitor your heart rhythm (ECG).
