I have been taking Quetiapine for almost 20 years now! I have been taking 25MG Tablet before bed. Now that I am 66ys I am having effects from this medication. Per my Psych.,months ago she suggested I go up to 50mg. (trying to get of strong sleep medicine).

I than noticed my memory was even worse and I was so spacey. This of course tells me that Yes this medication, even low dose, as years go by, does have long term memory effects. Has any one experienced this after years of use, especially people over 50?

Note: I would get off now, but I am working on getting entirely off of Diazepam,1/2 tab left to go.
