Seroquel (quetiapine) 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.
Seroquel (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. Seroquel (quetiapine) works by blocking these abnormal signals.
Typical antipsychoticsSeroquel is an atypical antipsychotic. It also sometimes interacts with other medications. Most commonly, it’s used to treat psychosis, where a person has hallucinations or poor judgment.
Here’s what first-timers should know about antipsychotic drugs:
Both typical and atypical antipsychotics have the same active ingredients. They’re designed to be the the same thing. But some atypical antipsychotics, like Seroquel, can have very different side effects. You should speak with your healthcare provider about which atypical antipsychotic is the best for you. Let’s break down what atypical antipsychotics are and why they’re a changed way of thinking for you.
First-timers should know what first-timers are. In the 1950s, doctors called schizophrenia and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In the late 1990s, researchers discovered that antipsychotics acted like second-generation drugs. Second-generation drugs usually don’t cause complications because they don’t affect any chemicals (neurotransmitters). Second-generation drugs don’t impact them.
Second-generation antipsychotics treat people with hallucinations or poor judgment. They also slow down motor control. They’re a much newer treatment. Second-generation drugs are just as effective as typical antipsychotics. Second-generation antipsychotics also improve the quality of life for people with psychosis. Second-generation antipsychotics help people manage their psychosis better and have a more positive living experience.
Second-generation antipsychotics don’t work properly. Seroquel (quetiapine) and other atypical antipsychotics can cause abnormalities in the transmission of electrical signals. Your healthcare provider can help you determine the right atypical antipsychotic for your situation. Let’s break down what’s a changed way of thinking for you.
First-time or first-time taking antipsychotics:
Some first-timers might be surprised to learn that antipsychotics aren’t the best treatment for their first-time or current-day symptoms. But for someone first-time taking antipsychotics, the changes are almost certain to happen:
Second-generation antipsychotics are usually a better option for most people with psychosis. But sometimes, they may not be the best option for everyone. Some people with psychosis need additional care.
Second-generation antipsychotics can cause serious side effects. Common side effects of second-generation antipsychotics include:
Serious side effects of second-generation antipsychotics include:
Most serious side effects of second-generation antipsychotics are dose-related (ie, they can cause drowsiness or weight gain).

SEROQUEL (quetiapine) should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either of the other ingredients. The following patients must be treated with SEROQUEL: patients with epilepsy, dementia, or dementia-related psychosis (in particular, elderly patients with liver and renal dysfunction), diabetes, severe heart disease or uncontrolled blood pressure (eg, heart failure, recent heart attack, recent stroke, uncontrolled blood pressure), patients taking nitrates, patients with preexisting metabolic conditions (eg, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or type 1 diabetes), or patients with schizophrenia (see also section 6.2).
Special precautions for use in patients with mental illness (eg, dementia, epilepsy, dementia-related psychosis, or suicidal ideation) or Parkinson's disease must be observed because the use of quetiapine can cause a potentially life-threatening reaction. The risk of death associated with dementia-related psychosis or suicidal ideation is increased in elderly patients and in patients on long-term antipsychotic therapy.
