Quetiapine is a drug with multiple uses at different dose levels. At low dose of 25-50 mg it’s mainly a sleep medicine. At higher it is a treatment for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Sleep doses of Quetiapine generally doesn’t cause EPS or any Tardive Dyskinesia and doesn’t require ECG monitoring.
