An Experienced Seroquel Lawyer Can Help Your Family

Weitz & Luxenberg’s dangerous drug litigation unit is investigating cases of children and teens who had been prescribed Seroquel to treat behavioral and mental health problems who became diabetic. Please complete the form on this page to have your case reviewed by a Seroquel lawyer in our law firm.

Please note: Weitz & Luxenberg is providing information about Seroquel and a number of physical and mental health-related side effects that may have been linked to the use of the drug.  However, our attorneys are only considering cases in which a child or adult under the age of 25 was prescribed Seroquel and developed Type 2 diabetes or other serious health problem.

Seroquel is classified as an “atypical antipsychotic” drug. The drug, which is prescribed to treat schizophrenia, acute mania and bipolar disorder, has also been prescribed to treat children and teens diagnosed with other emotional, behavioral and mental health issues.

The drug has also been prescribed to treat other conditions that may occur in children or teenagers such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD, hallucinations and as a sedative for patients with sleep disorders.

Serious Health Risks Linked to Seroquel
Unfortunately, Seroquel use has been linked to a number of serious and even-life threatening health problems in children and adolescents, including sudden onset diabetes and pancreatitis.

Diabetes is a serious health condition that affects millions of Americans. While all parents face considerable stress if their child develops symptoms of diabetes, it is even more of a struggle for parents of a child or teen with serious emotional and behavioral problems.

Lifelong treatment of diabetes requires daily monitoring of diet, blood sugar levels and compliance with oral medications or insulin injections. For the parents of a child with a behavioral or other mental health problem, their parents face the lifelong worry that their child’s mental health condition may interfere with their child’s ability to care for their health without supervision.
