I also gained a LOT of weight or Seroquel. It was AMAZING for sleep though. I have never had such regular sleep in my life. Seroquel was a part of my treatment for OCD, bipolar, and anxiety. I believe it was mainly for the latter. I started at 25 mg and was like a zombie. As my dosage increased, I believe I was at 325 when I stopped taking it, my sleep was more stable. That is to say the higher the dose, the less groggy I was.

One thing I did find, and PLEASE be careful with this! Is that the Seroquel would make me hungry, but it also relaxed me so much that I would choke trying to swallow. It relaxed my throat so much that I could not eat after I took my meds. It was maddening! I would crave chips, cookies, etc, but I knew I could not eat.
