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.

Consider consider side effects of antipsychotics

• communicate too fast. The faster your message gets to nerve cells, the better the chance you have of delaying or stopping its use.
• dramatically increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects. Most side effects just go away as your body adjusts to the medication.

Less frequently side effects of antipsychotics are known. In one study, people taking atypical antipsychotics — known as second-generation antipsychotics or atypicals — had almost double the chance of developing anxiety and depression as compared to people taking atypical medications. Second-generation antipsychotics like Seroquel also tend to improve your mood more frequently.

Second-generation antipsychotics are often prescribed after first-generation antipsychotics were introduced but before any atypical medications were introduced

• are often prescribed after first-generation antipsychotics were introduced but before any atypical medications were introduced. Second-generation antipsychotics are typically taken once a day and are effective but have few side effects. Atypical antipsychotics can cause sedation, weight gain, and metabolic changes. Some people may even experience dry mouth or constipation.

A side effect of second-generation antipsychotics is that they tend to have fewer side effects than first-generation antipsychotics. Second-generation antipsychotics tend to have fewer side effects than atypical antipsychotics. A few people who have trouble sleeping may also notice sleepiness or drowsiness. These side effects aren’t very common. In one study, people taking second-generation antipsychotics had about a one-third the chance of developing sleep apnea compared to people taking atypical medications. Second-generation antipsychotics also tend to have fewer side effects than atypical antipsychotics.

Seroquel (quetiapine) can cause extrapyramidal side effects. These side effects don’t go away on their own. A person with a side effect of Seroquel may need ton’t drink enough fluids while taking Seroquel to keep the drowsiness associated with the medication in place. A few people who have trouble sleeping also notice sleepiness and drowsiness.

If extrapyramidal side effects don’t go away, see a doctor. They may need to adjust the dosage or suggest an alternative treatment. A number of medications, like benzodiazepines and drugs that increase risk of suicide, can cause drowsiness and sweating. It’s important to discuss the risks and benefits of each medication before starting a new antipsychotic.

Seroquel (quetiapine) can cause drowsiness and sweating. It’s also important to let your doctor know if you have been taking other drugs that can cause drowsiness or sweating. Drugs that make you sleepy or drowsy can affect your nervous system. Drugs that increase the risk of breathing problems like serotonin syndrome can cause drowsiness and sweating.
