A member asked:

Can seroquel (quetiapine) cause facial droop?

Dr. Alfredo Soto answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

No but: While seroquel (quetiapine) has not been associated with facial droop, it, like other antipsychotics, can cause muscle stiffness. That may mimic a droop i one side of the face looks higher than the other due to the stiffness.
