What causes slight delusional state while on Quitipin?
Patient: dear doctor i have been on a slight delusional state twice. once on 2003 and then in 2006 while withdrawing from an anti-psychotic. its been 5 years now and i have been on quitipin 100mg (quetiapine) . ive been to 3 psychiatrists and now i have a counsellor . none of them have been able to tell me what i have as in ive not been termed anything. so i just wanted to know if it serious or not. Doctor: Hello, May i ask you to please describe what you really mean by delusional state and what do feel, behave in that state?Antipsychotic withdrawl itself does not cause delusional state. But yes premature stoppage or inadequate dosing for a mental disorder can cause person to return back to previous state of mental illnes.Psychotic/delusional disorder usually require higher doses of quitipin (more than 100mg).Thanks.
