Seroquel For A Disability

Updated

I just would like to know if this medication is for schitz patients then why is it perscribed for so meany other things? What exactly is it for? I know someone who is on it but thier diagnosis is nothing close to schitz. I am concerned about this and would really like some feed back.
P.S. this person is only 15 and has other diabilities.

Sometimes they give Seroquel for ADHD, insomnia, etc. My doctor wanted to give it to my son, but I found out that Seroquel is a major factor in Diabetes and I have Diabetes in my family, so I had him not even start it.

Seroquel contains the active ingredient Quetiapine, it is often used to treat various mental health issues, such as Schizophrenia, Depression, and Bipolar Disorder. Most medications can be used treat multiple conditions.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Seroquel as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood changes.

And, as Katie said, some of these medications have been known to cause diabetes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
