Did you notice any side effects when starting Seroquel? My husband's doctor thinks it would help.

Seroquel helped my husband, but we had to stop it because seroquel can increase the risk of strokes. (My husband is at high risk for another stroke.) He is now taking Mirtazapine (Remeron).

@trishaanderson No side effects that i noticed but to be honest, she was not on it for very long. A severe UTI sent her to the hospital and she passed away several weeks later. She had just entered Memory Care and the director said that most of the residents were on some dosage of Seroquel.
