Thanks
I do agree most doctors ignore the weight gain.... im pressing the issue because large weight gains can cause other health issues ( like bipolar people dont have enough lol ) Seroquel can cause diabetes ,, the additional weight for me makes my Fibro pain worse as the added weight increases my joint and muscle pain... My T is very understanding about the weight issues i have and hes a direct pipeline to my Pdoc .. My pdoc usally goes along with what my T is thinking ,,since my T knows me so much better than the pdoc i see every 60 days for about 15 mins LOL ... Im ok about that set up because i know my T will advocate for me .

Unfortunatly i have horrible insomnia and on tons of meds to help me sleep ... and thats the part of Seroquel i love ,,it definatly allows me to sleep better .. But I am not going to wind up having other health issues just because of weight gain from one medication ... I hope to find a solution that will work for less uncontrolled weightgain and keeping my mood in check ...

Thanks everyone its good to know you all can understand )))))))
