Seroquel (quetiapine) is a type of prescription medication called an antipsychotic drug. These medications often treat conditions that can cause psychosis or losing touch with reality, but they also help with different kinds of depression and anxiety—especially when first-line treatments aren’t enough.
There are two types of antipsychotic drugs. “Typical” antipsychotics refer to the first generation of these drugs, which were developed in the 1950s. “Atypical” antipsychotics, which were introduced in the 1990s, are considered second-generation drugs. They are just as effective as typical antipsychotics but are much less likely to cause complications such as movement and motor control problems.
Seroquel (quetiapine) is an atypical antipsychotic. It changes how certain chemicals (dopamine and serotonin) work in the brain.
Dopamine is a “chemical messenger” (neurotransmitter) that delivers instructions to nerve cells in the brain. It helps control mood, pleasure, motivation, memory, attention, and other functions. Serotonin is also a chemical messenger. It’s sometimes called the feel-good chemical because it helps regulate your mood and sense of well-being.
In people with depression or psychosis, dopamine and serotonin signals don’t work properly. Seroquel (quetiapine) works by blocking these abnormal signals.
Typical antipsychoticsHow long does it take Seroquel (quetiapine) to start working?
Seroquel starts to work within 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, it can take up to 2 weeks for the full effect will kick in.

After you tell your healthcare provider about a potential side effect, you may continue taking Seroquel (quetiapine) as long as your healthcare provider doesn’t think you are being seriously endangered. If you decide to stay, do so out of respect.

In its decision to combine AstraZeneca’s Seroquel with the U. S. government, the U. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision on October 18, 2013, finding that AstraZeneca’s Seroquel product should be classified as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. In so finding, the court held that AstraZeneca should be required to prove that the government is not complying with the applicable provisions of the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), because the U. government is not taking into account the fact that the Act has a different definition than the Controlled Substances Act, and because “there is an apparent conflict of interest between the two,” as is required by the CSA. In doing so, the court found that the CSA only requires the government to demonstrate that it has complied with the provisions of the Controlled Substances Act, and that AstraZeneca is not making any claim to that effect.
In so holding, the court noted that the U. Supreme Court has not addressed the matter, and the court’s analysis is not at all clear. In fact, the court in the case cited the Supreme Court in its decision, and the court in the case cited the Federal Circuit’s decision, which was in a somewhat different context.
The first of the cases cited by the Federal Circuit, in a decision published in 2010, was the United States v. AstraZeneca, Inc. (“U. v. AstraZeneca, Inc.”), an attempt to clarify the Federal Circuit’s holding in the case. In the case, the plaintiff, a pharmaceutical company with a large number of pharmaceutical companies, brought a class action against the defendants (the “Defendants”) in the U. District Court for the District of New Jersey (“Djuvena Judge”) for their alleged involvement in the distribution and sale of Seroquel. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants marketed the Seroquel drug as a treatment for acute weight loss, which was allegedly not the subject of the complaint, but rather an over-the-counter drug for depression that the defendants allegedly marketed. The defendant, however, failed to give any evidence of any intent to market the drug or the absence of any evidence that the company had ever marketed the drug for its approved indications.
The plaintiff alleged that the defendants violated the Controlled Substances Act in violation of federal law. In its complaint, the plaintiff alleged that the defendants knew that there were no “controlled substances” and that the defendants marketed Seroquel as a treatment for the acute weight loss side effect. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants’ conduct caused the plaintiff to suffer from serious and potentially life-threatening medical conditions, such as kidney failure, severe liver disease, and death.
The plaintiff alleged that the defendants failed to adequately warn the public of the risks associated with the drug and that the defendant’s conduct led to serious medical problems including heart failure, stroke, and liver damage, among others. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants’ conduct caused the plaintiff to suffer from “serious and potentially life-threatening medical problems including heart failure, stroke, and liver damage.”
The court found that the plaintiff had suffered severe and life-threatening injuries as a result of the defendants’ conduct. The court noted that the plaintiff’s injuries included:
“The plaintiff’s injuries included a significant decrease in her ability to function, and her symptoms were substantially worse, or worsened, than they had been before the conduct began; she experienced debilitating anxiety and depression; and she suffered a significant decrease in her ability to function and for at least a year after taking the drug and after stopping treatment.”
The court also noted that the plaintiff suffered from a significant decrease in her ability to exercise, and that she suffered from severe and life-threatening symptoms that were “unprecedented,” including an extreme decrease in the ability to walk, and severe and life-threatening symptoms that were “unprecedented,” including:
“The plaintiff’s symptoms were so severe that she would have experienced severe and life-threatening medical problems even without her medication, and the symptoms were so extreme that she would have experienced extreme and life-threatening medical problems in the first year of taking the drug.”
The court found that the plaintiff suffered severe and life-threatening injuries as a result of the defendants’ conduct, and that the plaintiff was entitled to compensation for damages based on these injuries.
