Good thread. Much needed.
I'll tell you one thing. I am up to my ears with some doctors who harp on me to lose weight so I can improve my health. I have even gone so far as to show them photos of myself prior to Seroquel. I'm 5'6". I weighed 110lbs. and spent my life trying to put on some weight. Went on Seroquel and gained 100lbs. over about 5 years. Now my glucose is somewhat high, my cholesterol is high, my liver has a minor problem, my blood pressure is high. Since going off Seroquel I immediately began to lose weight. But I've lost only around 30 lbs.
I would not have minded at all to gain say, 35lbs. from a medication. Or even 40 would have been fine, since I was really thin. But no pdoc told me what could happen with Seroquel. I am very angry about that.
I would like to see my obnoxious GP take Seroquel for a year and see how it is for her to gain so much weight.
