One of my friends in my DBT group has gained 74 pounds on Seroquel. 
Her weight has caused her to postpone her wedding because she cannot fit into her wedding dress. I feel bad for her.

Hey fellow Pennsylvanian! I think I've gained about 20 pounds on Risperidone, and that was in about 2 weeks so it was super quickly. I just figure I can't avoid it so I have to focus on working out more and eating healthier to try and combat the weight gain from antipsychotics.
