I did try seroquel twice (25mg) but I gained 20kgs in 6months and I would sleep for over 14 hours. Its hard because when I was depressed (which I was at the time clearly) I didn't need more sleep. Now that I'm manic I guess I do need Seroquel for sleep but I'm so worried about weight gain thats why I was looking for weight neutral AAPs like geodon and abilify) Is latuda weight neutral?
