Hi, i also take Seroquel and an SSRI (along with other medications), and i believe they work well together. If i am being completely honest, i took me around 3 months to settle with 60mg Citalopram, 200mg XR Seroquel (+ 50mg Amitriptyline). I felt as you describe, a huge lack of motivation... once i settled with the medication however my life was very much improved and i now work in the mental health field and spend time with my family - including my incredibly cute nephew - and friends and colleagues. I never though that would be possible some years ago. So the 3 months that felt like forever were certainly worth it for me. Of course you are on a much lower dose of Seroquel so i would imagine you will settle it with it much quicker??? I would say it is a very good medication
