A member asked:

Is it normal for seroquel (quetiapine) tolerance to build up really quickly?

Dr. Aron Tendler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Sedation-Yes: You should become tolerant to the sedation from seroquel (quetiapine) very quickly. Otherwise we would not be able to get people to therapeutic doses of even 800mg. The sedation usually maxes out at 200mg.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
