You asked what the drug Seroquel can do to you and the working mechanism.
The drug is an altered version of another drug that can cause addiction and death. It comes out of benzene and attacks the nerves in a way that can produce a mind-altered state including to be compelled to kill yourself and stop your heart to cause sudden death. The mechanism is well-known in the study of death. What it can do to you could be life-ruining and when you want to stop the drug, there could be a withdrawal syndrome so horrific that you could kill yourself and or others. The longer you take it, the deeper you get into the realm of addiction and death by sudden heart attack as the drug can attack the nerves to the heart to stop their transmission so that the heart suddenly stops and death can be quick.
You could go back to your prescriber and discuss this and a hypothetical conversation could go like this:
You: I read by this Lou guy on the net that Seroquel can cause addiction. Is that true?
Prescriber: That is true
You: Would I then have to go through a horrific withdrawal if I want to stop the drug?
Prescriber: Yes, depending on how long you take it.
You: Will the drug manufacturer pay for my suffering in that case?
prescriber: No.
You: Why not?
Prescriber: Because it states in the paper inside the box that the drug could do that.
You: Could taking the drug cause me to want to kill myself?
Prescriber: Yes
You: How can this drug be sold?
Prescriber: Because there is a big box warning that the drug could cause you to kill yourself.
You: But you are a doctor so why would you give me or anyone else a drug that could kill us?
Prescriber: This is how I make money.
