I have Bipolar and an eating disorder. I quit taking Seroquel after 2 years. I could not tolerate the therapeutic dose for psychosis and still could not control the carb cravings and gained 20 lbs. I tried the following drugs for weight loss and could not tolerate the side effects, but some people have had good results so you might want to ask your doctor about these: Topomax and Wellbutrin.

I was switched from Seroquel to Latuda (weight neutral) and you have to take it with food, a minimum of 350 calories, so I take it with dinner. It makes 10% of people sleepy so you may have to eat again right before you go to bed and because of that some people say that they have gained weight while taking Latuda. I take Latuda with dinner because it does not make me sleepy.

There are a lot of weight loss products on the market and some appear on the Dr. Oz show, but I am tired of weight loss scams so I haven’t tried anything new. The only other thing I can think of is to drink green tea and lots of water. If you find something that works for you let me know.
