    I've had that problem repeatedly with different SSRI's over the last twenty years. I've not taken Seroquel but it's a well known problem with SSRI's in general. Talk to your doctor. Often a change to another SSRI will fix it for a while but there are alternative antidepressants. I'm now off SSRI's and am taking amitrypline which works for me (I'm bipolar 2).
