What Will Happen If Over Dosage Of The Medicine Seroquel Is Taken Accidentally?

I accidentially took my seroquel xr twice tonight by mistake. I looked at my pill box and saw that Saturday s pill was there, and thinking today was Saturday, I took it. Should I induce vomitting, or will I be okay? My regular dose is 300mg, so I have taken 600 mg.

Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

You will be having excessive sedation with 600mg or may develop some extra pyramidal (tremor, expressionless face, rigidity) and anti cholinergic side effects (dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision and urinary retention). Other than this there is no risk of toxicity as 600 mg is just therapeutic dose used in many patients. I do not think you need to vomit if you are under 40 age but in case you are beyond 40 years it is better to vomit.


'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
