Side effects - seroquel (Quetiapine) have dissociative side effects?

SWIM's answer is yes. He has not experienced this drug firsthand, but he observed a lab rat ingest 200 mg of seroquel. 2-3 hours later the lab rat was crawling on the floor, barely able to walk on his own. The lab rat commented that he was "unable to distinguish dream from reality". This sounds like a characteristic of the datura-like dissociative state. The lab rat commented that things appeared that were not there, and was very sluggish and had trouble even figuring out how to download music on a computer.

Had SWIM known the effects would be like this he would have warned the lab rat first, but it sounds like what SWIY went through is not unusual, its a wacky drug to begin with and in SWIM's belief capable of causing a dissociative state.
