Can Seroquel cause schizophrenia?
Seroquel cannot cause schizophrenia. It is designed to treat schizophrenia. It is a common psychotic delusion to believe that an anti-psychotic such as Seroquel causes, rather than treats a psychotic disorder. This is because Seroquel, and all drugs of the anti-psychotic class used in the treatment of severe psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, cause uncomfortable side effects when initially administered. A schizophrenic who resists treatment will identify those side effect symptoms as the disorder through the process of rationalization.

Will 100mg of seroquel put you to sleep?
Seroquel should ONLY be taken according to your prescription. A person on Seroquel needs to take their meds the way that they're supposed to, in the time frame that they are supposed to, to keep a steady level of the drug in the body. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, and not a sleep aid. The important thing is, if you are on Seroquel, you need to take it properly. Don't just stop taking it; you need to be "weaned off". And if it is not your prescription, you should NOT take it. Anti-psychotic drugs taken by a person who doesn't need it can be dangerous, including having long-term permanent effects such as Tardive Diskinesia. Actually Seroquel IS prescribed by a lot of doctors as a sleep aid. It's an anti psychotic medication that can be used to help you sleep. I have a prescription for it as a sleep aid myself actually.
