Is There Interaction Between Remeron, Seroquel, Prozac And Ativan?

My mother is 83 years old and has SIADH syndrome and lung cancer. She has been given Remeron, Seraquel, Prozak and Ativan. It seems to me that we may have an interaction because she is anxious and calling out for help for no reason. she has become more depressed and anxious.

Hello,
Yes, there are many drug interactions with these medications. Remeron, seroquel and ativan can all cause sedation. Ativan may cause her to be delirious. Seroquel is really not recommended in the elderly at all. Please find a doctor to reassess these medications. I have no doubt that this combination could be the cause of her anxiety and restlessness.
