Is Seroquel Meant Only For Short Term Use?
The article on-line states the patient should not take Seroquel for longer than the doctor prescribes. Does this imply that Seroquel is meant for short term use? The patient I am thinking of takes it in conjunction with an anti-depressant for major depressive disorder. Thank you, C.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Seroquel is a atypical antipsychotic and it can be used in depression and in psychosis. In both case, it could be used for longer period and there is nothing wrong in it. Duration of symptoms depends upon the illness. In acute case, duration would be less or in chronic, it would be more.
Thanks
