Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed for every patient.In addition, detailed mental status examination is also recommended for every patient.
Your query is related to the night time anxiety with Quetiapine. Generally it doesn’t happen.Rather at times, it is given by some for sleep at low dosages by some.
Next Steps
It’s not clear what drugs you are taking and at what doses.
There is a need for you to discuss your problems with your mental health professional.
Health Tips
Do go for some of the routine medical tests recommended at your age including ECG .Other tests like Blood Sugar , Urea and urine testing are also advisable.
