Trade name for Quetiapine, a moderately potent second-generation antipsychotic drug. At therapeutic doses it is effective in the relief of pychoses both chronically and acutely. This drug also possesses mood stabilising and antidepressant properties, and trials have shown its efficacy in the treatment of both the manic and depressive phases of bipolar disorders and cyclothymia.
Seroquel also possesses anxiolytic qualities and is prescribed for some anxiety disorders.
Despite the absence of euphoria, or any physical rush, seroquel does have street value particularly in prisons where it is highly valued for its sedating properties. Some members of the public use seroquel to attenuate comedowns from amphetamines and stimulants.
Despite hearsay, it is not addictive, although a withdrawal syndrome does exist and the drug must be stopped gradually. The drug does not cause cancer.
Side effects include weight gain, somnolence and ataxia. EPSP is rare.

This pill is most certainly not the shit. I don't know how this drug has such a modern image when it's complete shit. The side effects I can't really comment on, except for one: sedation. If your doctor put you on this he seriously wants you to stfu. This drug makes people so tired it's insanity. 100mg of this and you'll drift off for hours. It might help if you can't sleep but be aware it's addicting. They don't put this on the label, but I'm 100% certain the body becomes dependant on it for sleep. If you can't get it, then you'll lie awake in a manic state all night. The best way to deal with this, is to take some antihistamine sleeping pills, and very slowly try to take yourself off them. I'm sure the drug company is aware how dependant people get and is making alot of money of people who got suckered and now take it just to sleep. It probably causes weightgain to, and there's some evidence it can cause cataracts. If you hear the drug name seroquel, realize that it's a drug which even in small doses will cause people to become snowed. If there's any youths out there who have parents making them take these mickey mouse drugs, then trust me on one thing; deal with your objection to your forced treatment now instead of when you're on your own. There is nothing modern about this drug, it's used to shut people up. This drug is so potent I'm sure it could be used to make people pass out. If I could go back to when I was taking this drug, I would have gave a dose to my dad and watched him pass the fuck out. The reality is, that no one will believe you about the sedation unless they experience it. They had me driving on this shit and I was fucked up. Oh and there's nothing enjoyable about being this tired, it's not relaxing!!
Please don't vote about this definition until you've taken at least 150mg of this drug or else you're probably still believing the marketing lies.

The youth was being questioning of authority's so the school decided he should be shut the fuck up; they gave him seroquels.

This drug will be responsible for numerous deaths as it is based on the petrochemical compound dibenzo pyrene which is extremely hazardous and carcenogenic. What was Astra Zeneca thinking? Their psychopathic scientists and business executives decided on exterminating people for a buck.
Some people have no rights so they are forced to take shit like seroquel and told it is for their own good.

This drug contains DIBENZOA,IPYRENE which causes cancer in adition to diabetes and obesity. This drug is another example of psychiatric genocide.
Some people got an apology and a country out of the holocaust while others got zyprexa and seroquel.

Garbage drug (dud) that doctors describe for you when they don't like you or when you are mentally ill or in rehab. It is not even good medicine for mentally ill people as it is uneffective and too sedative for day use.
Seroquel (non-XR) is short-acting (half-life 7h) meaning that receptors open and close all the time and this can cause damaging serotonin peaks in brain. Higher doses (>150mg) reduces bood flow to brain and lower doses increases it but if seroquel IR is taken once daily (as sleep aid) adrenergic receptors open and close all the time causing damaging fluctuations to blood/oxygen supply (to brain) and damage to bood vessels. Quick changes ind dosage are problematic because adrenergic system is now oversensitive causing further blood circulation problems to brains and organs (vasoconstriction).
Overall the drug just doesn't work well. All antidepressants used for sleep have usually much longer half-life. Adrenergic drugs must be stoppen gradually.
Use proper alpha blockers+antihistamine or antidepressant instead of seroquel. Extremely low doses (<25mg) can be used as antihistamine but why not use proper antihistamine instead.

He became even more retarted after he tried to stop seroquel.
She couldn't sleep at all after stopping seroquel.
