I'm fighting a battle against citalopram which I gained 30lbs in 5 months after taking it. We are ramping it back my pdoc and I and I am noticing a difference in my weight and reationship with food already.

Which brings us to the Seroquel...

I DID lose weight while taking it. I'm on a LOT of it and was in fact gaining weight as the years progressed. My mental healthcare team was concerned about how the weight gain was contributing to my depression. Instead of cutting back the Seroquel they added Metformin - and the weight began to fall off. If it wasn't for the damned citalopram. I was doing really well. Aaaaargh!

Okay, Metformin is a diabetic drug but there is a line of thought out there in the medical world that it can conteract the more unpleasant side effects of Seroquel.

We are weaning meoff the citalopram, I'm still on the seroquel, and I'm back on the Metformin. I've noticably lost weight in the ten days since we changed the cocktail.
