How will seroquel (quetiapine) affect my sex drive?

Lowers it.: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18338766 can be about a 50/50 chance AND relatively less with seroquel (quetiapine) than most others

Probably not at all.: Reports of impact on libido (sex drive) are very rare and increases are much more reported than decreases. less than 1 in 1,000 had a loss of libido. Between 1 in 100 and 1 in a 1,000 report increased drive. Don't worry about that. Other side effects are more troubling and you might ask your doctor about what to watch for to report to them immediately if you notice them. Best!

Hopefully no adverse: effects. But v libido and impotence may occur.

Not directly: Seroquel (quetiapine) has a lot of other side effects which indirectly can effect your sexual drive such as dizziness.
