I've been on Seroquel three times. I'm currently on it and have gained ten pounds. I cried yesterday. I'm always hungry and I always want chocolate. Last time I was on Seroquel my pdoc put me on Topamax for the hunger issue. I didn't lose the weight, but I didn't gain anymore. I was on 100mg of topamax and I felt as dumb as a box of rocks. He lowered it to 50 mg and I was fine cognitively. I seem him in two weeks and I'm going to beg him to put me on Topamax, I can't take this anymore. Every time I have been off of Seroquel I lost a ton of weight, so I know the hunger is this damn Seroquel. Food is always on my mind. I always say I will only take a bite and then before I know it I've devoured it. I've been slowly switching to eating healthy like I was before Seroquel, it's so hard.
