I have found that drinking a lot of water/any liquid helps, though. You have to go the bathroom but you 'feel full'. I have a problem with overeating until I am absolutely bloated. I feel full, but its not enough! I'd try to stay away from too much juices and soda though.

Eating a lot of fruit after a meal helps too.

I'm on both Seroquel and XR. The appetite doesn't go away and I need to constantly fight the urge to eat.
I'm always going "It's ridiculous - I just ate, so why am I still feeling hungry?"

I also found drinking a lot of water/*non-sugar* liquids helps too - an idea I got from my mom during her times when she was so poor there wasn't anything to eat.

If it is a side-effect you really don't want to live with then I'll suggest switching to something else.
