Seroquel overdose is extremely dangerous and can be fatal. Never take more than your prescribed dosage.
Overdosing on Seroquel (quetiapine) can cause serious respiratory depression, leading to difficulty breathing and even death. This is a major risk, particularly at higher doses.
Other severe side effects include dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension), irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), and seizures. These complications can arise quickly and require immediate medical attention.
Symptoms of an overdose can manifest as drowsiness, confusion, dizziness, and slowed heart rate. However, the severity varies greatly depending on the amount ingested and individual factors like age and health.
If you suspect a Seroquel overdose, call emergency services immediately. Timely intervention is critical to minimizing harm and potentially saving a life. Do not delay seeking help.
If you’re struggling with thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please reach out for help. Contact a crisis hotline or mental health professional. You are not alone.
