Dear Sir, Quetiapine is a mood stabilizer and has been recommended for the treatment of depression. Some people may complain of feeling more sleepy, however this usually subsides on continued treatment. If you have any worries about the medicine, please talk to your psychiatrist. Please do not stop it without consulting your psychiatrist.
