Thank you for your input, TO. I appreciate it. Yes, I have gained a ridiculous amount of weight since being on Seroquel. Now I have it down to 12.5mg though, with the hope of going off this spring.

My pdoc has me on 150 of Seroquel but insists its "just for sleep". I tried weaning off last year but couldn't sleep so I gave up that idea.

150 is really high for sleep! The common dose for use as a sleep aid is 50, 25, or 12.5. But better to stay away from it, imo.

my doctor put me on seroquel 200mg for sleep then 300mg never worked so got off of it easily because I was not on it very long.
I take 1mg of klonipin to sleep well now except when I have to get up frequently to go pee.
I had put on so much weight, need to get serious about losing this weight.

I'll ask pdoc next time she calls. Not exactly sure when that will be- maybe the 5th? They called and a recording told me when my next appointment is but I wasn't near anything to write it down in.
