Potential Side Effects

Constipation, upset stomach, sleepiness, fatigue, dry mouth, and weight gain are some of the most frequently reported side effects of Seroquel. Some patients could experience dizziness or lightheadedness during treatment with this medicine as well. Dizziness and lightheadedness are especially likely to occur during the first few weeks of treatment, and they could also happen when the patient's dose is increased. Some patients may notice cold sweats and chills while taking this medicine too. When using Seroquel, patients should be especially vigilant for potentially serious side effects. Some of the more serious side effects include tremors, suicidal thoughts, increased anxiety, swallowing difficulties, jaundice and persistent abdominal pain. Patients have reported persistent nausea and vomiting while taking Seroquel, and some have had trouble urinating. Loss of appetite, seizures, fainting and interrupted breathing during sleep have been reported as well. Patients should tell their doctor immediately if they notice any serious side effects, and they should be taken to the emergency room if they faint or have a seizure. Patients should also mention any side effects that are persistent or severe. It may be possible to adjust the dose to minimize side effects.
