Laburnum + Quetiapine
Quetiapine brand names: Seroquel, Dopaquel.
We found no known interaction between Laburnum and Quetiapine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Quetiapine states a food rule worth keeping to, and the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.
Laburnum and Quetiapine
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Quetiapine and Laburnum in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Laburnum at all — not against Quetiapine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Some Quetiapine Products Have a Food Rule — Laburnum Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Quetiapine says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Laburnum included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Quetiapine on its own and move Laburnum to a meal later in the day.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Quetiapine products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
It is recommended that SEROQUEL XR be taken without food or with a light meal (approximately 300 calories) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].
From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Quetiapine — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›
A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Quetiapine page
“Quetiapine (Seroquel) treats schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, illnesses where an unplanned swing in the drug's blood level has real consequences, and that is why these 199 supplement interactions deserve a careful read rather than a shrug. Most of the risk runs through CYP3A4, the liver enzyme that clears quetiapine: grapefruit bloc…”

About Laburnum
What is Laburnum?
- Historically explored as a smoking-cessation aid (due to cytisine content)
- Traditional folk use as a purgative or emetic
- Ornamental garden plant
- Source of the alkaloid cytisine
Laburnum is a poisonous ornamental tree, not a safe dietary supplement. All parts of the plant—especially the seeds—contain the toxic alkaloid cytisine and can cause serious poisoning. Do not eat or take any part of the Laburnum plant; consult a doctor or poison control immediately if ingestion is suspected.
Laburnum anagyroides · Fabaceae · Seeds, flowers, bark, and other plant parts (all considered toxic) · Not used as a commercial supplement; the plant is grown as an ornamental tree
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Laburnum is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Laburnum record says about it on its own.
Laburnum: dosing
There is no safe or established dose of Laburnum. It is not a dietary supplement, and no amount of the raw plant is considered safe to consume.Any information you may see about cytisine doses refers to purified, prescription-type products used under medical supervision in certain countries—not to the Laburnum plant. Do not attempt to make or take anything from this tree.

About Quetiapine
What Is Quetiapine Used For?
Brand names: Seroquel, Dopaquel
Quetiapine treats schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in adults and certain age groups of children and adolescents. For bipolar disorder, it is approved for manic episodes (both as a stand-alone treatment and alongside lithium or divalproex) and for depressive episodes.
The extended-release form of quetiapine is also approved as add-on therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults who are already taking an antidepressant. The regular tablet form is not approved for this use.
