Brief Answer:
Pale coloured stool is not normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query
Normal stool is usually brown to yellow however having pale coloured stool means that there is increased amount of bile pigments in the stools which happens most often when one has jaundice.
Here is how you should go about it

1. Give a stool routine sample along with Complete blood count and liver function test
2. Let your diet be low in fats and high in carbohydrates
3. Do not drink alcohol until you get the tests done
4. You can continue to take Seroquil

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
