Question: How can I tell if Seroquel is causing my depression?
During the time that I have been on Seroquel, I have had sudden depressive episodes like this once or twice before. This recent episode makes it 3 or 4 times in total.
I don't get to see my doctor very often. I'm not sure If I can endure the rest of the week before I can ask him if seroquel is causing this. Has anyone experienced this same pattern with seroquel?

Quetiapine (Seroquel) is a good, modern drug that is used in Psychosis and Mood Disorders including Depression. However like most medicines they can have unwanted effects and drawbacks.
Some considerations:
It could be that it is sedating you too much? Are you taking anything else in addition for Depression? Is your Depression related to your life situation? Do you have any other mental health difficulty that your doctor is treating you for?
If you are unhappy with the increased dose then it is important to let your doctor know and try and negotiate alternative ways to combat the Depression.
