If i take amphetamines in the day and seroquel all at bedtime will the amphetamines still work during the day and will the seroquel still work for my bipolar mania? or would the seroquel just cancel out the amphetmines?

I've taken them together before and the Seroquel totally wiped out the Adderall. It's extremely sedating and would pretty much cause grogginess and brain fog the entire following day, when taken at night. A better AP choice would be Abilify, very few side effects. If you're taking Seroquel for insomnia, I think there are better options available. For instance trazadone, cyproheptadine, Requip.

What dose seroquel do you take?
When I took less than 100mg, I had sedation during the day, but when I increased to 300mg, it went away (took about 3 weeks to decrease, but gradually the fatigue went away).
I found that geodon (which was SUPER sedating (took 120, 180, 240 mg)) was augmented nicely with provigil. I still got all of the nice focusing-abilities with provigil. Unfortunately at the higher doses I was taking pills every 6 hours, and experiencing a crash after each geodon dose, at which point I would recover, probably with the help of provigil
best of luck,
