My son takes 5mg respirdol to which his pdoc added seroquel [ 25mg for day 1; 50mg for day 2; then 75mg for day 3 ] The dose was to be increased to 200mgs. On the third day following the preceeding evening's dose of 75 mg my son had a fever of 100.4 degrees, was dizzy [ not orthostatic] and had pupilliary dilation[bilateral.] He called his pdoc who told my son that he should continue to increase the seroquel dosage as directed. My son said that he preferred not to continue with seroquel at which point his pdoc agreed that it was ok for him not to continue and to discontinue the seroquel immediately without slow reduction. In addition to these physical reations my son reported that he did not feel like himself, that he was slowed down and [this next again a physical reaction ] that he felt funny in his head like he felt when he took 6mgs respirdol some months ago.
From my reading it sounded like an anticholinergic effect. CAm, I would very much appreciate it if you would please comment on this. Thank You
