Is Seroquel the brand name or generic name? I can't find it listed in the '94 edition of "Drug facts and comparisons."

I am somewhat concerned about taking an antipsychotic drug due to the possibilty of developing tardive dyskinesia. According to my copy of "Drug facts and comparisons" that is one of the warnings listed in the discussion of antipsychotic drugs.
