yes please allow them to do labs. I was on it for a few years it wasn't monitored and I ended up being diabetic insulin dependent since 2010. I suffer with a damaged kidney and it also hammers the liver. please be careful taking this medicine I don't want you to end up like me. I hope this info helps you my prayers are with you.

Seroquel (quetiapine) can cause hypothyroidism, high liver enzymes, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides. I take it and have regular blood tests just to be on the safe side. I suggest you talk to your Dr. about it.
