Seroquel, part of the class of antipsychotics, is used in order to treat schizophrenia, mania, and depressive episodes which may occur as a result of bipolar disorder. This medication has also to be used in order to treat depression as well as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in adolescents and children.

Seroquel is available in both an extended-release tablet as well as regular tablet form. The instructions on the prescriptions should be followed in entirety and the pharmacist or physician should be asked if any questions arise.

A low dose of Seroquel will probably be prescribed initially with the amount gradually increasing after the first couple of weeks. Keep in mind that the medication will help to alleviate symptoms of the condition but is not a curative measure. It could take a while for the medication to take effect and you should continue with your recommended dosage even if symptoms are no longer present.

If you immediately stop taking Seroquel, it is possible that you may experience symptoms of withdrawal such as vomiting, nausea, as well as problem with sleeping. The dosage will most likely be decreased gradually.
