Seroquel is an anti-psychotic medication. Anti-psychotic medications have several side effects compared to any other form of medications. Seroquel has been associated with several harmful side effects like increasing risks of diabetes, pancreatitis and sometimes death.

Several law suits have been filed against the manufacturing drug company by the affected patients. One of the side effects of Seroquel is blackouts. People have reported to be completely lost consciousness for a couple of hours. They were not aware of what they were doing at that time. The ‘waking up’ feeling related to these blackouts is very similar to that of in coma. This kind of side effect has several detrimental effects on the brain in the long term. It also has the potential of causing long term brain damages.

Psychotic diseases can be classified as anxiety, dementia, OBD or obsessive compulsive disorders, and autism. There are several other drugs and steroids that can treat these problems. Seroquel has a number of harmful side effects though it is very effective in many patients.

Seroquel is still a popular drug worldwide and is manufactured by a company called AstraZeneca. In fact, it has more than 19 million users world wide. In United States alone the annual sales is more than $2.8 Billion. However, some experts maintain that nearly 70 percent of the usage of the drug is unauthorized. The FDA in the United States does not qualify the Seroquel to be a safe medication. The generic name of Seroquel is Quetispine Fumarate and was earlier authorized by the FDA.
