I was on seraquel for a year and my weight went up alot and I got high blood pressure. I didnt eat any different either. I heard that it changes the way you process suger and stuff. I have lost over 40 pounds and am back to my weight. I had a hard time sleeping afterward also. I used benadryl for a while. Dont go off cold turkey that is so bad for you. I know you want to get off but you hav to do it the right way or you could get very ill.
