I gained 80+lbs when i was on seroquel+paroxetine.... I was so sedated and emotionally flat that didnt realize about the weigth gain until I stopped the meds... My then Psychiatrist didnt care at all....
Another psychiatrist I had by then didnt want to believe I once was Slim and able to attend high school.
Some years ago, I explained all of these to a psychiatrist I had while IP. He thougth it wasnt that.bad until he saw on my medical records that two years before I was obese, almost diabetic, had high cholesterol and TG (getting metabolic syndrome at 16yo is not a joke).
Rigth now my GP doesnt believe I have ever been that overweigth (I asked for a blood test because my cortisol has been crazy since the massive weigth gain during my teenhood).
Oh, and I got POS
.
(Most of symptoms but a bit of hirsutism dissapeared when I lost 60lbs)
