What Experts Say

Quetiapine belongs to a group of medicines called atypical antipsychotics. It works by balancing dopamine and serotonin activity in the brain, two chemicals linked to mood, thought and perception. This helps reduce hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thinking in people living with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and it also helps calm agitation during acute episodes.

Doctors usually start Quetiapine at a low dose and increase it gradually over several days. This slow titration helps the body adjust and lowers the risk of side effects like drowsiness or low blood pressure on standing. Regular follow up visits allow the dose to be fine tuned for each patient based on response and tolerability.

Long term studies show Quetiapine is effective for maintaining mood stability and preventing relapse when taken consistently every day. Sudden discontinuation can trigger withdrawal symptoms or a return of psychiatric symptoms, so any dose change should always be guided by a qualified physician.
