Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Seroquel (quetiapine fumarate) is an anti psychotic medication. This means that it is helpful in reducing psychotic symptoms including hallucinations.

It can also help to redirect or control your suicidal ideation as well. In addition to psychosis, it is sometimes also used in persons with mood (emotion) disorders such as depression or bipolar disorder , where there are ideas of self harm.

This means that it should help with your hallucinations and suicidal ideas.
Medications work differently for each person, so if you find that it is not effective for you then your doctor can either change the dose or give you an alternative that may work better for you.

I hope this helps ,feel free to ask any other questions
