i've never used any maoi ..

i hate zyprexa :/ it didnt do anything but make me gain weight
but thats just my experience, it helps some people a lot
i was on 20mg for a year or 2 (its really hard for me to keep up with time..)

edit:
here is an interesting article about weight and APs.. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3998960/
its just an article though, i think basically any ap can cause weight gain.. just some have more reputation for it

True, however you might be the first person I've read about who has not had a Seroquel weight gain though. I have read dozens of posts about Seroquel (too many to count, and on many forums) and they've all said the same thing - they ballooned.

I was on Paxil for a dozen years and I gained a ton of weight on that, ugh, I was hungry all the time...
