I was and am a skinny guy so it didnt bother me, but from what I understand most people dont want that.

It worked good for sleep, but sometimes I would get a strange sedated feeling like im thinking out of my body. Sometimes id get restless leg syndrome

But when I couldnt function because my mind was always racing, it worked well. It seemed to do nothing for my depression.

For me I would take it again if I was having mania, or bad enough anxiety, I would then get off it as soon as I was stable enough. From my experince seroquel had the least amount of side effects, not saying they were small.
agreed overall, w side effects thingie, got the RLS too and depression still an issue on this.
