Alert~ Growing concerns over side-effects and soaring prescription rates of psychiatric drug Seroquel; This is one of the ironies with this massive increase in the prescription rate in Australia - when you stack it up against other medications and other treatments, it doesnt really stand out as a particularly good drug. Despite being an anti-psychotic drug, meant initially to be used to treat only serious conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, it has become one of the highest-selling medications of any kind. The drug is increasingly being prescribed for a range of conditions - anything from sleep disturbance to anorexia - but there is a growing body of concern about the harmful and disturbing side-effects it can cause. Patients should be aware that coming off quetiapine abruptly is not recommended and could cause side-effects. Anyone wishing to change their psychiatric medication should first consult their doctor abc.net.au/news/2013-11-27/growing-concerns-over-side-effects-of-seroquel/5120554
