Seroquel XR is not particularly weight unfriendly for me. It has seemed to be friendlier than regular Seroquel. Is it a weight loss med for me? No, but I am 90% sure any weight gain I've had on Seroquel XR has been primarily related to moods (not medications), genetics, general love of eating, and too little exercise. I could stand to lose 18-20 lbs, but I was in a similar position about 16 years ago before I ever put a bipolar med in my mouth.
I know we all have different experiences with medications. I just wanted to share a story that puts Seroquel XR in a good light, which it has been for me.
I'm not dieting right now or exercising as I should. I know I can, especially the former. I can lose weight when I try.
