Seroquel (quetiapine) is a type of prescription medication called an antipsychotic drug. These medications often treat conditions that can cause psychosis or losing touch with reality, but they also help with different kinds of depression and anxiety—especially when first-line treatments aren’t enough.

There are two types of antipsychotic drugs. “Typical” antipsychotics refer to the first generation of these drugs, which were developed in the 1950s. “Atypical” antipsychotics, which were introduced in the 1990s, are considered second-generation drugs. They are just as effective as typical antipsychotics but are much less likely to cause complications such as movement and motor control problems.

Seroquel (quetiapine) is an atypical antipsychotic. It changes how certain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) work in the brain.

Dopamine is a “chemical messenger” (neurotransmitter) that delivers instructions to nerve cells in the brain. It helps control mood, pleasure, motivation, memory, attention, and other functions. Serotonin is also a chemical messenger. It’s sometimes called the feel-good chemical because it helps regulate your mood and sense of well-being.

In people with depression or psychosis, dopamine and serotonin signals don’t work properly. Seroquel (quetiapine) works by blocking these abnormal signals.

Typical antipsychotics

Seroquel (quetiapine) is usually taken orally and can be taken with or without food. It’s important to let your doctor know you take it before you go to the emergency room to make sure it’s right for you. —Medscapeported

Dosage Information

• Take one quetiapine capsule once daily. Your doctor may start you on a low dose and gradually increase it. Your dose should be based on your weight.
• The maximum recommended dose of quetiapine is 10 mg. Your doctor may lower the dose to 20 mg or raise it to the next maximum dose.
• Take the quetiapine with a glass of water, at least 30 minutes before any eating or activities (eg, walking, talking).
• Avoid taking with other medications that cause serotonin syndrome, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
• Sorption may cause unwanted side effects. Talk to your doctor if you have any unusual abdominal pain, disorders that cause headaches, difficulty breathing, suicidal thoughts or attempts, confusion, seizures, or low sodium or potassium levels.

Examples of antipsychotics with drowsiness effects

Remember, antipsychotics are not considered a controlled substance by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. The agency initially approved an antipsychotic when an individual had a history of suicidal or manic episodes or evidence of bipolar disorder. The most common side effects of an antipsychotic are drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, stomach upset, and difficulty sleeping. These are usually temporary and improve over time. However, they can be serious if you have a pre-existing medical condition or take a controlled substance.

Seroquel (quetiapine) is a very serious drug that can cause serious side effects. In case of an antipsychotic drug’s serious side effects, immediate medical attention is needed to prevent severe problems. Your doctor will do a risk analysis if you have a pre-existing riskfactor for antipsychotic drug use to determine if you need to change your antipsychotic dose.

How to Use Seroquel (Quetiapine)

• Take quetiapine orally. It can be taken with a glass of water.
• Your doctor should lower the dose to 20 mg or increase it to the next maximum dose.
• If you take quetiapine with a glass of water, at least 30 minutes before any eating or activities (eg, walking, talking), then don’t take it more than once daily.
