Hi Christle,

Based on my research, Seroquel "technically" doesn't have addictive properties but that really depends on who is taking it. Some people can become psychologically addicted to the benefits that it offers, for example: decreased anxiety, better sleeping, etc. Therefore, if you were to stop taking it, you may feel "withdrawal" ie: increased anxiety, etc... due to lack of the drug. Always taper off Seroquel when discontinuing to avoid these symptoms.

I hope this helps!
