Seroquel


My doctor prescribed a new medication for me.  It made me out of it today, but the doctor said that should go away after a few days.  This is from the P.I. sheet:


"This medication is used with or without other medications to treat certain mental/mood conditions (e.g. bipolar disorder, schizophrenia).  Quetiapine is known as an anti-psychotic drug (atypical type).  It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.  This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration.  It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life.  Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur."
