Since you just went to a new pdoc.....she would be the best one to talk to about what alternate possibilities there might be that wouldn't cause you the weight gain.....with weight gain comes other problems that aren't as simple as just a few pounds. Seroquel raises blood sugar so if you have a history of diabetes in your family or the tendency toward it yourself....it's something you need to watch especially with the weight gain which can also lead to type 2 diabetes. I know it's stressful when you feel like things are rather stable to even want to mess with anything but the other health aspects of one's life are JUST as important IMO & I feel it's a Pdoc's RESPONSIBILITY to address those issues since it's their meds that tend to cause the problems.
