Quetiapine 100 mg is a prescription medicine used to help manage a range of mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and in some cases, major depressive disorder. It belongs to a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics, often prescribed when patients need long-term support with mood stability and managing psychotic symptoms.
This medication is typically prescribed to reduce symptoms of schizophrenia such as hallucinations, confused thinking, and emotional withdrawal. For those living with bipolar disorder, quetiapine can help manage episodes of mania and depression, making mood patterns more stable. Doctors may also recommend it as an add-on therapy for depression when other treatments haven’t worked as expected.
Quetiapine works by balancing certain chemicals in the brain—mainly dopamine and serotonin. These two neurotransmitters influence how we think, feel, and respond to stress. By modifying the way these chemicals interact with nerve receptors, the medicine helps reduce symptoms like anxiety, agitation, and mood swings, and supports clearer thinking over time.
This medication should only be used under medical supervision. It’s not suitable for casual or non-specific use, and it's especially important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Taking higher doses or using it for longer than recommended can lead to dependency or adverse effects.
People with liver problems, heart conditions, or a history of seizures should speak to their doctor before starting this treatment. Drowsiness is a common side effect, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after taking a dose. For older adults, especially those with dementia-related issues, quetiapine may increase the risk of serious complications and is typically avoided.
Most people tolerate quetiapine well, but some may experience side effects, particularly when starting or adjusting the dosage. These may include:
Less commonly, it may affect blood sugar or cholesterol levels or cause restlessness and tremors. Occasional blood tests may be required to monitor your response to treatment.
