Did anyone have any weight gain with it?
I have been on it for a little over a month now, and I'm readng up on it and see the risk of weight gain is really high.
That scares me.

As I recall, in clinical studies something like 13% of those on Seroquel experienced significant weight gain vs. 7% of those taking placebo. So if you watch what you eat (quantity and nature of food) you should be ok.

Periodic monitoring of blood glucose is a very good idea, however, because the drug does predispose toward high blood sugar and diabetes.
