Seroquel and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

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 to treat obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and other conditions. However, our lawyers are only considering cases in which a child, adolescent or adult under the age of 25 was prescribed Seroquel and developed diabetes or other serious health problems.

Seroquel is prescribed "off-label" as a treatment for OCD.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a psychiatric disorder, specifically, an anxiety disorder.

OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.

Seroquel is sometimes prescribed to treat OCD because of the sedation effect it has on its users.

The sedation effect can leave the patient sleepy, which combats their obsessive thoughts.

The NUMBERS

About 3.3 million people in the United States have OCD. (foodconsumer.org)

Medical questions should only be answered by a doctor or other health care professional.
