Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
Seroquel contains quetiapine and it is a atypical antipsychotic. Usual dosage range of it is 100 to 900 mg per day. Your patient has taken 30 tablets of 25 mg that's mean, 750 mg a day. It is in usual range of drug. At that dose, it would remain drowsy for a day. After that, you would come out of it. There is chances of sudden hypotension due to drug (hypotension is side effect of seroquel). In that case, you have to maintain her vital and check her blood pressure regularly.
You can treat her at home. Measure her blood pressure after very two hours and in case, you feel her blood pressure is lesser than 90/60, then take her to hospital.
If you need further help, you can ask.
