A member asked:
My doctor is weaning me off of seroquel (quetiapine) extended release and is using another medication to avoid withdrawal effects, what medication is used for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seroquel is an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. There are other medications that are available for the same purpose and there is no need to guess what your prescriber has in mind. Please ask them directly.
