At the risk of repeating myself for the 25th time on this forum regarding Seroquel...I'm 5'6" and when I started taking Seroquel I weighed 110 lbs. Thin, and I had always been thin. In fact, I spent a good deal of my life trying to gain weight. While I was on 350mg. Seroquel I gained over 100lbs. within about 18 months. I felt like I was starving all the time.
As a result of the weight gain my blood pressure went up, as did my glucose and my cholesterol levels.
After 7 years on Seroquel I finally flatly refused to take it anymore - at least not at that high dose. All it ever did for me anyway was help me sleep.
I did lose some weight after stopping Seroquel, maybe 25lbs. so far. I occasionally take 12.5mg. to help my sleep. That dose doesn't make me feel starving hungry.
If I would have known the damage it would do to my health I never would have touched Seroquel.
