Can i get addicted to serquel?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Seroquel (quetiapine) addiction: Depends upon what you mean by addiction. Seroquel (quetiapine) doesn't typically cause euphoric feelings like illicit drugs (cocaine, pcp, etc.), so the addiction risk there is low. It can give you withdrawal side effects if you stop it cold turkey, a mild physical "addiction." as for psychological addiction, i'd say no. It is being used to help a person achieve mental wellness, rather than for a high or buzz.

Not really: However, seroquel (quetiapine) has been known to be 'abused' by some for its sedative and hypnotic effects.
