I hear ya. In the last year I was off Seroquel and Lithium. In that time I was able to lose 100lbs. Now that my symptoms are back of course my doc wants me to go back on the meds. I refused Lithium and not crazy about Seroquel either but I'm not sleeping.
So in my case it's a little vanity but also I live such a healthy lifestyle that I know Seroquel is going to interfere with that.
So I don't even know what to do. What i do know is that I need to stop this cicle. I really wish they could come up with psych meds that work on your brain but keeps you physically healthy
