I personally prefer to go with 18.6 lbs but I'm offended when it doubles my weight. It actually fell into pieces the other day so now I hope I get a new one. I'm having a very hard time with my body right now; I lost 15 lbs but my weight all moved to my belly and I feel fatter than ever.

I assume I'll lose weight coming off Seroquel and my dr. hopes to avoid weight gain with clozaril. My family dr is willing to put me on metformin after the drug change so I'm really hoping that will help me keep the weight off if I lose some of the Seroquel weight and if I don't it will at least help keep me from gaining more. I need to exercise but realistically if I can't make a can of soup or take a shower exercise is probably not happening. I do walk the dogs a few miles a day several times per week but that's not enough. Maybe a 50 lb weight loss from Christmas would be nice? (And with the med change actually possible...I'm on so much Seroquel that I can't imagine I won't lose weight just from being off the high dose. I just can't remember what happened the last time I came off much of it aside from this summer which was brief.
