What Causes Dizziness And Excessive While On Seroquel?
My husband was recently prescribed Seroquel for depression. He has taken 2 doses so far. Today he is very sleepy, a bit dizzy and just not feeling well. This is the only change in his medication. The evening dose was 50 mg and this morning 25 mg. Are these normal side effects?

Hello,
Seroquel is usually prescribed to treat manic depression and schizophrenia. The effects of this drug can include:
1. Sleepiness
2. Dizziness (if you sit down or stand up suddenly)
3. Gastric problems
4. Trouble movement, etc.
You should not do some work that needs concentration after taking this drug. Diving driving and biking are not a good idea after this drug. You can decrease the dose if he is unable to do his basic life tasks after using this drug with the advice of your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
