Hi,
I understand your concern.
IT is good to take the prescribed dose of Seroquil regularly. A regular follow up is advised to readjust the dose.
A sudden break in taking routine dose for several days is likely to cause withdrawal symptoms with sometimes relapse.
But missing a single dose does not cause much difference to body/brain.
When a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered. But if it is nearer to next scheduled dose, it should be dropped.
Thanks.

Hi.
I understand your concern .
Seroqel is anti psychotic medicines.
In mental disorder it is necessary to take it daily to achieve therapeutic concentration in blood.
Normal therapeutic concentration will help to improve psychological disorder.
It has been taken daily.
But if you forget to take it then no problem.
It will not affect your brain or body.
Missed dose can not lead to any complications .
Sometimes sudden stopping of medicines may worsen psychological or mental illness .
So misssing dose for one time or one day you can start as it is on next day.
Take your treating doctor advice when you haven't take it for long time .
I hope I have answered your concern .
Thank you .
