So it looks like my Pdoc is taking me off of Zyprexa because it's made me gain a lot of weight despite eating only 1200 calories a day and going to the gym 6 days a week. He said putting me on Seroquel. Anyone have any experience with weight gain while on it? I've been doing some googling and I keep finding that a big side effect is weight gain so I'm worried I'm trading in one medication that's making me gain weight for another that's going to do the same thing.
He also mentioned potentially trying Abilify but my nurse today said it wouldn't be as good of a medication for me as Seroquel.
Just wondering what other people's experiences are.
