I definitely experienced that with Seroquel. Massive weight gain (as I mentioned earlier). I told my pdoc that the stuff was ruining my health. She...it was like she worshiped the damn Seroquel. She kept insisting that I stay on it. After a while (and after I had been on it for 7 years, prescribed by previous pdocs) I became just really angry and fed up. I was watching my weight increase along with my blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure. The "joke" of it was that Seroquel never did a single thing for me except help me sleep. Nothing else. Never even decreased anxiety. It's beyond me why I didn't just STOP taking the crap. Anyway, one day I told my pdoc that that was it. No more Seroquel. I refused. So she reluctantly stopped prescribing it.
Unfortunately, I am using my very last bottle of Seroquel right now. I'm using 12.5mg. every night because I am desperate to sleep. At that tiny dose I don't seem to have any side effects. Still, after this bottle is finished I don't want to continue Seroquel.
