How long does it take to overcome the side effects (drowsiness) of seroquel (quetiapine)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It depends on many factors such as the dose, other medications and your liver/kidney function. Generally, the sedative effects of seroquel (quetiapine) last 1-4 hours however this can vary from patient to patient.
