Seroquel is a brand name for quetiapine fumarate, which is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is often the first line of treatment for bipolar disorder. Seroquel works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that regulate mood, emotions, and behavior.
Seroquel is also used to treat schizophrenia. In addition to schizophrenia, Seroquel is also used to treat bipolar disorder. Seroquel may be prescribed for people with certain medical conditions, such as certain heart or kidney problems, or for those who have certain types of cancer. It may also be prescribed for certain types of depression.
Seroquel is a type of medication called a antipsychotic. An antipsychotic is a drug that blocks certain chemicals in the brain called dopamine and serotonin receptors. Dopamine and serotonin are chemicals that help regulate mood, emotions, and behavior. Dopamine and serotonin are neurotransmitters that help control mood and emotions. Seroquel works by blocking certain receptors in the brain, which helps regulate mood.
Seroquel is usually taken orally once daily at a dose of one tablet. The standard dose of Seroquel for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is one tablet twice a day. However, some people may take Seroquel with a meal or an antacid, as the dose can vary based on the antacid. If your doctor prescribes Seroquel for you, follow these steps:
Seroquel may take a few days to start working. If you take the missed dose as soon as your regular dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. However, if you have a heavy meal, it may be best to skip your missed dose and take your regular dose of Seroquel.
If you suspect that you or someone else may have taken too much of Seroquel, seek immediate medical attention. In the case of an overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If you are not sure, contact emergency services at 1-866-234-2959.
Seroquel may cause certain side effects in certain people. For example:
Seroquel may cause the following side effects in some people:
If you or a family member has taken Seroquel in the last 14 days and you experience any of these serious side effects, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222, as these people may be at risk.
If you suspect that you have taken too much Seroquel, call 911. An overdose of Seroquel may require higher doses of medication to be effective. If you suspect that you have taken too much Seroquel, call 911 or your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Seroquel, also known by its generic name quetiapine fumarate, is a type of prescription medication called an antipsychotic drug. These medications work by reducing the activity (jitteriness) of certain chemicals in the brain that may lead to extrapyramidal symptoms (eg, muscular fatigue, nausea, headache, and extrapyramidal symptoms). Like all medications, Seroquel works by increasing the amount of Ser2ANTipsychotics the body makes, which in some cases averages between 10-20 mg/day. This makes them preferred treatment options for symptoms that may accompany thespaninedependent-than-controling-drugifestyle-and-symptom-fitschdule-us-of-a-disease.
Seroquel produces its effect by enhancing serotonin reuptake. This leads to increased serotonin levels in the brain. Seroquel works by enhancing Ser2ANTipsychotic activity, which increases the amount of Ser2ANTipsychotic available in the body for use in treating a particular condition.
Seroquel is approved for managing the effects of certain chemicals in the brain that are involved in the associated symptoms. It is commonly used to treat symptoms associated with psychosis. Higher therapeutic doses (150 mg/day) of Seroquel can be beneficial for patients with this condition. For patients with this condition who do not respond to standard treatments, Seroquel is frequently prescribed. Seroquel has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms associated with these conditions.
Because Seroquel increases Ser2ANTipsychotic activity, it is often chosen for a specific condition that the body cannot treat effectively. For this reason, Seroquel is often the first line of defense for patients with this condition. Other antidepressants, like Effexor, are less effective at treating this condition. Seroquel may be prescribed for other conditions that the body cannot tolerate. This includes, but are not limited to, major depressive disorder, stimulant/stimulant mood stabilizers, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and tricyclic antidepressants.
The most common side effects of Seroquel include:
Less common but more serious side effects can include:
The most common side effects of Seroquel for treating Serotonergic disorders are similar to those associated with other antidepressants. The following are some of the more common Seroquel side effects that are more likely to occur:
(Serotonin syndrome) can lead to serotonin syndrome, a rare side effect that can be serious.
