Hi MrsLovett,

No I have never taken Seroquel . I was given it once for sleep and anziety issues I had durring a very difficult time of my life . I was given some sampes I recognizeed the name form others who had take it. So I googled it. Not a great drug for a person strugling with an eating disorder IMHO ad remembered a few other women who were really sruggling with the weight gain . So I tossed them . I got through it with out the drugs.

Because Serquel it cause cravings and weight gain. Maybe if someone is very underweigt that May be okay but if you are a binger compulsive overeater type Like I am carbohydrate craving is a nightmare. Its a daily struggle if I indulge in those kinds of foods.

I woud really try to get someother kind of meds that can help you with what ever else your struggling with . There may be another place here On PC you can post about getting off of Seroquel and your halving your meds.

You may well loose the weight after you get off the seroquel ,or lets say it will lesson the cravings. The main way to deal with the cravings though is to stay away from those food that trigger it . thats what works for me. I try to eat the right foods every day . If i had my way Id just eat carbs.
