Seroquel

Seroquel (quetiapine) is a highly-efficient medication used for the treatment of certain conditions (schizophrenia and bipolar disorder being the most common ones). It should be used as prescribed by your health care provider without exceeding the dose prescribed. People younger than 24 can sometimes get suicidal at the beginning of their treatment, so you will need to show up for regular appointments with your doctor if you are younger than 24. The following mild side effects are supposed to be reported to your doctor only if they change in intensity and start to bother you too much: constipation, vomiting, blurred vision, dizziness, weakness, stomach pain, drowsiness, headache, weight gain, nausea, dry mouth, anxiety, and runny nose. In other cases you can just carry on with your treatment. Alcohol can cause some of side effects of Seroquel that may impair your reaction and thinking. You can become dizzy in the middle of some activity that requires all your alertness and concentration. Make sure you always know the way your body reacts to this medicine. The drugs you are taking may cause interactions with Seroquel. It’s a good idea to make a list of all the drugs you are taking for your doctor to have a look, especially if the following ones are among them: high blood pressure medications, medicines for depression or mental illness, rifabutin, antifungal medications, thioridazine, cimetidine, steroids, erythromycin, seizure medications, and lorazepam.
