Ive gone from 100 mg. to 800mg. right now im on 400mg of serquel . I have gain 60 to 80 pounds my self but seroquel is one of the best meds. for bi-polar with the least amout of side-effects there are many Meds. that are much worst and will kill you faster with their side-effects trust ive tried them all.

The trick with Sq. is that it make you hungrey once you take it dont eat anything after-wards and most of the weight gain is water once you stop taking it the weight comes off fast but then you may go nuts . It relly is a great med. for bi-polar i love love it out of the 5 meds im on and all the meds. I tried it's worked the best.

So now im looking for to get some of the weight off I going to strat working out & walking to the stores instead of driving and see if I can get some water pills from my doc. Ive lost 40 to 50 pounds before but ive gotting lazy over the winter. They groups i go to for bi-polar having a fat belly means you are on your meds and the peolpe have lost their fats bellys have gone off their meds.I dont like it any more then you i was always in great shape but wth any meds. its a give and take their no magic pill .
