Does taking seroquel along with Prozac have any health effects?

I have some anxiety problems and I have been recently perscribed Prozac and Seroquel. My understanding of both drugs is that; Prozac increases the levels of serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain; and Seroquel blocks the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. Also, I know that, Prozac is used to treat depression and some anxiety problems. Seroquel is used to treat psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, maniac-depressive disorder and very servere depression. Seroquel does this by blocking dopamine (dopamine causes the symptoms of schizophrenia such as hallucinations and delusions) and serotonin. I know I'm not hallucinating or having any delusions. My perscription is telling me that I'm a depressed psychotic. I'm not depressed either. My main concern is if Prozac is increasing my serotonin levels and Seroquel is blocking my serotonin levels, then why should i take both of these medications? Also why should I take a medicine that acts as an anti-psychotic when I'm not psychotic?

you need to see a real doctor and get a proper diognosis. you may not need medication at all

not sure but seroquel can make you fat as hell if your not careful.
