I don't think Seroquel itself is poison. To me, it's been a lifesaver. Everyone reacts differently to these meds. I remember I had a huge problem with weight gain & exhaustion & Remeron (this med is super notorious for that) but there are other people who took it fine.

I've been on Seroquel 2,3 years now. No weight gain. Mostly weight loss with the higher dosage, but I did have that ulcer perforation with a God awful in-hospital treatment (pain like I never knew existed). I lost 10 lb. in 6 days over the course of that hospital treatment. But I'm pretty much healed from the ulcer. Gastro-doc did an upper endoscopy, everything is healing fine. Still can't eat a lot of greasy, fried food, maybe later I can according to gastro-doc, maybe never. But I don't see him again until December.

So not everyone gains on Seroquel. It does knock me out every night (but thank God, because I have trouble sleeping), but I am fine with energy the next day most of the time (if not depressed, on my period, etc.).

Poison to one may well be a lifesaver to others.
