I’ve only been talking this drug for three days but I’ve been talking much louder than usual, almost yelling to people sitting right next to me. I don’t have hearing problems. Has anyone else experienced this?
Quetiapine/ Seroquel qQuestion?

Yes i notice it and its so frustating!
Im on 25mg Seroquel too,sometimes i take 12.5mg just to do the job it depents of how anxious i am the night.
Im have Sleep and Social Anxiety Issues.
I Can tell you in my experience (5 years on this drug) this issue happens once in a while when you are taking the original Seroquel Brand.
But if you try the Generic Brand this thing happens every day and worse sometimes i hear myself and my voice is so deeply and both loud and weird like i sound like an old strange man some mornings!
To the point i feel embarrasing to even talk im 28yo male!
The best Suggestion is to stay on the Original Brand Seroquel as Possible, if u are on Generic.
However you can always look with your Doc some Alternatives to Seroquel.
I have been on Seroquel for about 25 years and personally I have not experience deafness.
Having said that, deafness is considered a rare side effect when being treated with the IR (instant release) formulation and it affects 0.1% to 1.0% of people being treated with this antipsychotic.

I advice you to inform your Dr..
Same side effect with the active ingredient (Quetiapine) in Seroquel and also Quetiapine being the generic presentation of the medication.
No. I’ve been taking SeroqueL for 30 years and I can tell you that is not one of the side effects of the drug. The side effects I have had and have heard from many other people is nighttime eating. It’s almost like being half awake and just gobbling food. Weight gain is another big one. I can’t say 100% that your loud talking isn’t a SeroqueL side effect but I have never heard anyone complain of that
