Any suggestions? The weight gain possibility scares me to death, but I can't go on like I have been.
I'm am so totally where you are. I just started back on Seroquel 2 weeks ago (almost). Last time I gained major weight on it.
This time around I'm really worried about weight gain. Not long ago when I was more stable I lost 100 lbs. There is absolutely NO WAY I'm gaining that weight back. Sometimes I think I'd rather be crazy.

But realistically, I can't. So I'm just going to keep eating supper healthy and exercise. If the weight comes on, I guess it comes on but like the disorder itself, I will keep fighting.
