Many of the side effects from psych meds are not only annoying, they cause life-threatening symptoms and illnesses.
I gained 147lbs over the 7 years I was on Seroquel. I am now pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and in chronic pain from the weight. Frankly, I'm afraid that poison will take years off my life.
The most frustrating part of it is that pdocs shrug and say...Yes, weight gain is a problem...
