A member asked:

Upper an low back muscles are throwing off my balance an making me anxious..is this from comin off seroquel (quetiapine)?

NOT SURE: Not quite sure what you mean by this but there could be some muscle issues involved with Seroquel (quetiapine) as a side effect. Depends on a variety of things like the dose and how long you have been on the Seroquel (quetiapine). I would definitely bring this up with your physician.
