I have a friend who has been disgnosed as bipolar. Problems with lithium and was given serequil today to take one before bedtime. Does anyone have any comments about this drug? He is having hard enough time with meds and dreads side effects. Thanks.

The active ingredient in Seroquel is Quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic.
Unfortunately, all medications have the potential to cause side effects, especially mental health meds to treat psychoses.
This is probably one of the reasons his doctor is having him take it at night, this will help minimize the amount of side effects he feels, since, until his body adjusts to the medication, he will sleep through most of them.
Some of the most common side effects for this medication include: drowsiness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.
