I understand that quetiapine can increase cholesterol in the blood, I've been on quetiapine for around 18 months and just had a blood test which showed high levels of cholesterol in my blood.

I can't speak to my doctor about it for another 2 weeks or so, and i didn't have a blood test before starting quetiapine to compare both results to see if it is the quetiapine that has increased my cholesterol.

But i was wondering if anyone knows that if it is due to quetiapine and if i stop taking it my cholesterol will go back down to normal or will i still have high cholesterol?

Or has anyone been in the same situation and the doctor has just kept you on quetiapine even though it may be the cause of the problem?
