I've been doing a lot of research on Seroquel because just last week, Thursday, I was prescribed with Seroquel, 200mg. I know the milligrams is very high, but I still took the dose anyway, 1 tab in the morning and one tab at night. The tablets made me very groggy, tired, and sleepy. Those were normal symptoms, I came to find. But Monday I got this ugly fever. I thought that it was probably caused by me not putting a sweater on or whatever, but I came to find that Seroquel can be a very dangerous drug. I immediately stopped taking the drug. My fever was so high, I had flu-like chills, an ugly sore throat, body aches and weakness. Anyone know if my sickness was poisening from the drug? There are all these other syndromes like Lemierres Syndrome and NMS.

The symptoms you describe do not sound like Seroquel causing NMS. They sound more like a viral illness.

Seroquel 200mg morning and night is a reasonable dose.

All drugs are potentially dangerous. Even water if taken in excess can be fatal.

You can look up NMS on wiki (and LeMierre's Syndrome, although it has nothing to do with Seroquel). There is also a good page on the side effects of Seroquel (Quetiapine).

I have been in Pharmacy for over 20 years and Seroquel is a very good drug for what it is intended for. Your dose is high, I agree however if you stay on the medication you will get used to the drowsiness, your body will adjust. I can say that in all the years in Pharmacy I have NEVER heard of Seroquel causing blood poisoning. You are probably coming down with a cold or the flu. I am sure your symptoms have not gone away once you stopped taking the medication. You are doing yourself a dis-service by NOT taking this drug so that you can get better. Now.....one more thing......it is always a good idea to read the insert about the medicine but most of the things that you read about will NOT happen to you. If you still don't believe me, call your local Pharmacist and he will tell you the same thing that I am writing here to you. Please, go back on your medication, give it a chance. I hope this has helped. Blessings to you and yours for this Holiday Season
