A member asked:
Can 6.25mg of seroquel (quetiapine) (quarter of lowest dose ) still an effective antihistamine ? because i feel sleepy with it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Seroquel (quetiapine) isn't meant to be an antihistaminic, some of the effects are due to the nature of the drug an anti psychotic, better not self medicate with this drug category, see your doctor for consultation
