FAQ
Which Seroquel strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Seroquel comes as 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg or 300mg tablets. Pack sizes range from 30 tablets up to 180 for some strengths, and 360 for 25mg. The pack contains generic quetiapine, not the original Seroquel. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How discreet is Seroquel delivery to Hong Kong?
Every Seroquel order ships in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside about the contents. Tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days and includes online tracking. If your parcel arrives damaged, or does not arrive within that window, it is sent again free.
What is another name for quetiapine?
Seroquel is a brand name of quetiapine, which is also sold as Quel, Atrolak and Biquelle. Here, quetiapine can be bought online as generic Seroquel, and also as quetiapine tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
How long does Seroquel take to work?
It depends on what you are looking for. Drowsiness and calmer sleep tend to show within the first few days, voices and delusions usually ease over one to two weeks, and mood stabilisation in bipolar disorder can need several weeks at a steady dose.
Can I drink alcohol with Seroquel?
Alcohol and quetiapine both slow the brain down, so the pair multiplies the sleepiness and dizziness rather than simply adding to it. Even one or two drinks can leave you unsteady on your feet or foggy the next morning. Keeping drinks light while a dose is being settled avoids the worst of it.
Does Seroquel cause weight gain?
It can. Appetite often rises in the first months, and weight creeps up slowly rather than in one jump. Blood sugar and cholesterol can rise alongside it, which is why blood tests are usually repeated during long treatment.
What happens if I stop Seroquel suddenly?
Stopping abruptly can bring insomnia, nausea, headache, sweating and a quick return of the original symptoms. Quetiapine is usually withdrawn in stages over a few weeks, with the last steps taken slowly.
Does Seroquel help you sleep?
Sleepiness is the effect most people notice first, and better sleep in the early weeks is common. That comes from the drug's sedation rather than from treating insomnia itself, and it usually fades as the body adjusts to a steady dose.
About Seroquel
What Seroquel is used for
Seroquel tablets contain quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic. They are used in schizophrenia, where they quiet hallucinations and disordered thinking, and in bipolar disorder, both to bring down mania and to ease the depressive phases that follow. Treatment usually runs for months or years rather than as a short course.
How quetiapine works and how the tablets are taken
Quetiapine blocks dopamine and serotonin at their receptors in the brain, the two messengers that run hot during psychosis and mania. Quietening that signalling is what takes the edge off delusions and mood swings, though it also leaves most people drowsy. These tablets are the immediate-release form, usually taken two or three times a day, with a meal or between meals. Doses start low and climb in small steps over a week or more so the body has time to adjust.
Side effects
Sleepiness is the one most people notice, heaviest in the first week and after each increase, and it usually eases. Dry mouth, dizziness on standing, constipation, blurred vision and a fast heartbeat are common too. Appetite often rises, so weight can creep up over months, and quetiapine can push blood sugar and cholesterol higher as well.
A high fever with stiff muscles, sweating and confusion is a rare reaction that needs urgent treatment. New uncontrollable twitching of the tongue, face or jaw needs looking at rather than living with.
Alcohol and other medicines
Alcohol adds to the drowsiness and light-headedness these tablets cause, so a drink that once felt harmless can leave you unsteady. Sleeping tablets, benzodiazepines and sedating antihistamines deepen the same effect. Carbamazepine and phenytoin clear quetiapine from the body faster and can weaken it, while ketoconazole and some HIV medicines slow that clearance and push blood levels up.
Strengths and the quetiapine listing
Tablets come in 25mg, 50mg, 100mg, 200mg and 300mg, covering both the small starting steps and the higher maintenance doses. Seroquel is the brand name quetiapine is sold under; the same ingredient is also stocked here as Quetiapine in the same five strengths and tablet form.
