Seroquel gave me the raving munchies and I put on a lot of weight quickly. If I had of been able to eat less the weight gain would be reduced. It does make you tired too but I found the XR less sedating. I'm glad it is helping you. I hope you. An find a way to manage the side effects. Abilify works well for me with psychosis and mood stabilisation but doesn't calm racing thoughts as much. There are other options if Seroquel isn't right for you.
