Hello, I take quetiapine 1/4 of 25mg to sleep. If I take this medication over a very long period of time, could it affect my health?

Thank you for your question. Before considering a regular pharmacological option, it is important to optimize your sleep hygiene. This includes having a routine to repeat every night, avoiding looking at the clock 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime, and avoiding looking at the clock once in bed. Additionally, you may consider trying a natural health product such as melatonin, which is available over the counter in pharmacies. Your pharmacist can advise you on this. If the solution required is Quetiapine, there seem to be few risks associated with its long-term use, especially at the 6.25mg dose. However, it is best to discuss with your doctor before considering chronic use of this medication.
