Quetiapine, commonly sold under the brand name Seroquel, 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.
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. Quetiapine works by blocking these abnormal signals.
possible antipsychotic drugsThis means that it helps people with depression or psychosis with changes in how their brain works. It also helps with psychosis in people with schizophrenia or who have another mental health condition such as serotonin syndrome.
Quetiapine is usually taken with food or a liquid. If you take it with a meal, it won’t be safe for you. Quetiapine can make it difficult to swallow, so it’s preferable to take it with a glass of water.
Long-term use of Quetiapine can increase the risk of developing a stroke or deep vein thrombosis. Although these events are generally rare, they happen and their symptoms can be managed.
Discuss any trusted reports with your doctor to ensure the drug is safe for you. Quetiapine is sometimes prescribed for other conditions than depression or psychosis.
Quetiapine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Serious side effects can occur with many antipsychotic medications but are more common with Quetiapine..
Serious effects, however, can happen with antipsychotic medications only if your brain has a enough amount of dopamine and/or serotonin in it to signal problems such as movement and motor control problems. These side effects aren’t usually severe. They can happen because your brain does not make enough of these chemical signals.
Some of these side effects can be managed. When these side effects are severe, you can take your first-line medications— antipsychotics, antidepressants, and smoking (cigarettes)—and gradually increase your dose. This increases your risk of developing a stroke or a deep venous thrombosis and can also increase your risk of a heart attack or stroke if you have it.
If you have side effects that last longer than a few days or become painful, talk to your doctor. WithQuetiapine, you don’t have to take your first-line medications in the first place.
In most people with psychosis or depression, Quetiapine does not affect your medical condition or cause mood or behavior changes. It can make things more difficult to engage in activities such as driving or making other important decisions.
However, if your side effects are causing you discomfort or don’t go well, or if you have a history of pain or joint issues that make it difficult to stay pain-free, contact your doctor.
What is the difference between typical antipsychotic drugs and Quetiapine? Typical antipsychotics and Quetiapine are both types of drugs that affect chemical signals in the brain. Typical antipsychotics are used to treat mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.

Seroquel (quetiapine) can change how certain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) work in the brainDopamine and serotonin have different effects on the brain. Dopamine tells the brain to “calm” or focus on activity in certain areas. It tells the brain to “ feel good” or “ enjoy” (heavily moveable) when certain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) are active. Serotonin tells the brain to “numb” or “trembl[e]le” (feel-good chemical) when certain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) aren’t being active. Dopamine tells the brain to “calm” or “full-blown” serotonin, which helps “keep your moods” and makes you “feel good.”
On the other hand, serotonin tells the brain to “feel” or “have fun” or “motivates.” It tells the brain to “calm” or “stay focused” or “have fun.” Serotonin doesn’t “feel” or “have fun” or “modes.” It “temporarily” tells your brain to “decide” or “stay focused.”
With dopamine, your brain tells it to feel good and have fun. It tells it to “decide” or “have fun” when it has active signals.
On the other hand, your brain tells it to “decide” or “have fun” when it has a low level of serotonin.
Dopamine and serotonin have different levels of effect on the brain. Dopamine tells the brain to “nod” or “reward.” Dopamine tells your brain to “full-blown” or “keep your moods” and makes you “feel” or “have fun.” Serotonin tells your brain “have” or “have” or “have.”
So, who’s more likely to benefit from an antipsychotic drug?
The risk of movement problems is greater with an antipsychotic drug compared to that with atypical. On the other hand, people who have psychosis or don’t have it less than twice a year can get movement problems.
When you take an antipsychotic drug, the most common side effects are lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness,, or dry mouth. On the other hand, people who have a known sensitivity to dopamine have dry mouth and trouble chewing.
It’s important to talk with a doctor before starting an antipsychotic drug.

Seroquel XR (quetiapine fumarate) is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as well as to reduce hallucinations in bipolar patients. It works by blocking the dopamine and serotonin receptors, preventing the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, which can cause hallucinations and delusions.
The onset of Seroquel XR may take up to 4 to 6 weeks for full effect. However, it is important to note that Seroquel XR is not a controlled substance and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It should only be taken under the guidance of a doctor or a pharmacist. It is not recommended to take Seroquel XR for longer than a certain length of time, as it may lead to serious side effects.
Seroquel XR can cause side effects such as:
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these serious side effects.
