But I wonder why do some gain on them and others do not? I have taken Seroquel 2, 3 years now maybe and not gained, and I wasn't on Adderall with it (have not been on Adderall long at all); mostly, I was on Lamictal, Buspar, Klonopin, trazodone, hydroxyzine. IDK, I know it's been shown how people with an eating disorder like anorexia have brain functions that can override the feeling of hunger (believe me, I still felt hunger when I weighed 80 lb., but I ignored it even if I dreamed of consuming food a lot of the time when I actually managed to sleep and woke in severe panic thinking it had really happened). But maybe it plays a role here? And I didn't always exercise this much while on it. That is recent too, at least within the last 2 years, maybe longer.

There was a point at which my weight jumped up (to low normal), but that was about a year before I had that perforated ulcer. I didn't know I had a ulcer, but with the type I had (duodenal), symptoms were often relieved by eating, so maybe I ate subconsciously. I do remember I was nauseous a lot, but I am also prone to nausea with my cycles, and ever since my daughter was born, my cycles are stupid short, like 21 days, so I'm dealing with wild hormones most of the time.

Although there was one drug I was on, Remeron (an antidepressant though, not an AP), even I gained a lot of weight on it. Practically everybody on it does. I once read vets have used it to treat lack of appetite in cats & dogs. All I wanted to do on Remeron was eat and sleep.
