Assuming you are having these medications prescribed by a doctor, I wouldn't worry about it much. I'm sure your chance of side effects goes up but it's still a small chance of anything serious. I am not a doctor and this is just my opinion.

I take Cymbalta in the morning and Seroquel at night, as well as a few others, and I've never had an interaction. It is very common practice to administer an anti-depressant with an anti-psychotic.

i'd consult with your doctor, but i don't think theres a dangerous interaction.

I take 20 mg Lexapro in the morning and I also take 100 mg Seroquel at bedtime.
I also take 1 mg alprazolam 3x a day and Dexedrine 10 mg in morning, 10 mg afternoon, and 5 mg in evening. I get the 5 mg Dexedrine IR's. On top of all that, I take 130 mg of methadone daily.

I've never had a bad reaction.
