Is Confusion And Disorientation Due To The Interaction Of Seroquel And Ambien?

Is seroquel and ambien safe together, my wife was currently diagnosed as bipolar and her psychiatrist has just added ambien to help her sleep, she is a recovering addict from pointers and benzo, last night she was confused, disoriented and unable to convey words. She is also on gabapentin for night sweets that her oncologist put her on. Could the interaction of these drugs cause this.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query confusion and disorientation due to the interaction of Seroquel and Ambien can occur due to many reasons like middle ear infection , some kind of growth in middle ear or fluid in middle ear ( Meniere's disease ) .

The symptoms can also oslo occur due to interaction of Seroquel and Ambien , so consult doctor who prescribe them and discuss the condition .

You should not ignore this , because sometimes the condition get complicated. i would suggest you to start with antibiotics, steroids and labrynthine sedatives for 5 to 7 weeks.

you should go for vestibular rehabilitation exercises. You should consult with your ENT specialist and get evaluated. Doctor may order audiometry test and tuning fork test and treat it accordingly. Avoid touching and pricking it with any sharp object.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
