Seroquel does cause memory loss in some people.

Seroquel can cause memory loss in some people.

Some people who have taken Seroquel have reported serious memory loss as well as twitches, fatigue and shortness of breath.

When Seroquel is working it should improve your mood, improve your appetite, improve your sleep and your energy levels should also increase.

If you have mood swings then you should have less severe mood swings when taking Seroquel.

After taking Seroquel it usually takes around 4 to 6 weeks of taking Seroquel for the Seroquel to kick in and show full effects.

Some people experience some of the effects within a week of taking Seroquel but not the full effects until 4 to 6 weeks.

Seroquel also known as Quetiapine is a serious drug and can cause serious health issues and even possible fatal side effects.

Drugs such as quetiapine raise the risk of death in seniors who have dementia.

Risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors warning: During the first few months of treatment, quetiapine may increase suicidal thoughts or actions in some children, teenagers, and young adults.

When taking quetiapine there may be a slightly increased risk of serious, possibly fatal side effects (such as stroke, heart failure, fast/irregular heartbeat, pneumonia) when this medication is used by older adults with dementia.

This medication is not approved for the treatment of dementia-related behavior problems.

Quetiapine may cause drowsiness, trouble with thinking, trouble with controlling body movements, or trouble with your vision (especially during the first week of use), which may lead to falls, fractures, or other injuries.

Quetiapine tablets and extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions).

Over time, especially if abused, Seroquel can lead to the development of several adverse, and potentially long-lasting side effects.

In some instances, these effects are reversible when use of the drug ends, but in other situations, the changes can be permanent.

Quetiapine is the generic version of Seroquel and is available in the United States.

Seroquel (quetiapine) is a psychotropic medication used to treat schizophrenia in adults and children who are at least 13 years old.

Seroquel is also used in the treatment of major depression and bipolar disorder.

Quetiapine is available as the brand-name drugs Seroquel (immediate-release tablet) and Seroquel XR (extended-release tablet).

Both forms are also available as generic drugs.

Generic drugs usually cost less than the brand-name version.

Seroquel helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life.

It may also improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level.

Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur.
