Question 10

can i get addicted to serquel?

Accepted Answer

Seroquel (quetiapine) addiction: Depends upon what you mean by addiction. Seroquel (quetiapine) doesn't typically cause euphoric feelings like illicit drugs (cocaine, pcp, etc.), so the addiction risk there is low. It can give you withdrawal side effects if you stop it cold turkey, a mild physical "addiction." as for psychological addiction, i'd say no. It is being used to help a person achieve mental wellness, rather than for a high or buzz.
