Taking seroquel (quetiapine) at 50 mg's daily, what exactly does it do to your brain at that dose?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Belive it is low avg: dose. It blocks dopamine receptors. Consequences: some decrease in unusual thoughts, can have some changes in muscle tone or movement coordination (antidote is benadryl), can also have effects on autonomic regulation (temperature, lactation, others) and dampened down ability to vomit among other effects.

Not sure: The mechanism of action of SEROQUEL (quetiapine) is unknown. However, it has been proposed that the efficacy of SEROQUEL (quetiapine) in schizophrenia and its mood stabilizing properties in bipolar depression and mania are mediated through a combination of dopamine type 2 (D2) and serotonin type 2 (5HT2) antagonism.
