A member asked:

Could seraquil depress the nervous system?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Seroquel (quetiapine): commonly causes sedation, if that's what your asking. If your having that or any other difficulty with your medication, please bring it to the attention to the prescriber. Good luck to you.
