Always want to scarf down a crap load of cookies after a dose seroquel. Weird!

I used to take seroquel and it would always make me eat and eat, I would be stuffed and still searching the house to find something else to eat. It's a well documented side effect of seroquel, I know a woman who gained 140 pounds in 9 months while taking it.

When I first started taking seroquel I'd be so hungry I'd take food to bed with me after taking it, well that was after the night I turned on the oven and promptly fell asleep. No weight gain though. I've been taking it for about a year.

140 in 9 months, like she was pregnant with a full grown adult and doubled in size but, why did she let that happen?
