Frequent ha's: Quetiapine does have a high incidence of triggering headaches, and this could be dose related or idiosyncratic causing potential to find an alternative medicine. The cognitive-behavioral issues could likewise be an adverse event. Contact your doctor, as using medication to solve the side effects of the original medication could be a "blind alley".
