Adverse effects: Like any other drug, seroquel (quetiapine) does have side effects, one of which is promoting diabetes. Seroquel (quetiapine) was FDA approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. However, it has been heavily prescribed "off-label" for other mental conditions. In 2010 a class action law suit was initiated against the manufacturer of seroquel (quetiapine).
