Capner,
Quetiapine (Seroquel) doesn't usually cause a bad taste; however, it does cause HORRIBLE dry mouth. I would suggest making sure she has plenty of water to sip on and even hard candy to suck on throughout the day if she is able to do so. That will help greatly with whatI am guessing she is identifying as a bad taste. Hope this helps.
