Brief Answer:
Quetiapine is less likely cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
Condidering the symptom profile in form of vomiting, loss of appetite, loss of energy I feel quetiapine was less likely cause as it helps in vomiting and increases appetite.
In addition bad reaction after 12 years of use is remotest possibility.
In my opinion setting that experience aside quetiapine can be reintroduced in gradual manner to handle the sleep problem.
I hope this assists you further.
Thanks and regards.
