I did have MASSIVE weight gain. So much over my time on seroquel 10yrs off and on that if I told you how much you wouldn’t believe me. Then it was messing with my heart and I knew it was gonna kill me but I couldn’t get in to my psych and I HAD to stop it right away so I just went to my GP (general practitioner… I think you call them PCPs in the US?) and got her to change the meds and send a letter to my psych and when I saw him he agreed with what she had done.
