Oh I would believe you. I started Seroquel in high school when I was on the varsity XC team and by the end of the season I started it they put me to JV because I had gained 30lbs and my times went up by a couple minutes. Like how tf do I gain 30lbs running 5-10 miles a day every day while my coach was constantly telling me to eat more so I wouldn't near pass out on more strenuous days?
So even if you said you gained 200lbs I would still believe you. I'm hoping they come out with more effective meds soon that don't have awful side effects. First generation APs suck because of EPS, second gen sucks for metabolic shyte.
