I can't remember if weight gain was a problem when I took Seroquel, but I've had it with other drugs. As if we didn't have enough problems as it is!
Thanks for this!

I got weight gain on Zyprexa, so my docs switched me to Risperdal, and I lost all the weight and stopped craving sweets. switch to Risperdal, or better yet, Latuda. If you want a long-acting, take Invega Sustenna once a month.

Ill look into latuda. Risperdal caused muscle tension and i couldn't sleep on it. I didn't gain weight though it also messed with my female cycle.

I was on seroquel , latuda, all of them but geodon ( my pdoc thinks its worthless)' anyway I'm on saphris now I am much less hungry and my cholesterol improved. Also my swings in behavior are improving. Hallucinations haven't stopped but have become more manageable.

ick seroquel...hated the weight gain, but it did give me really cool dreams. Every anti p I tried packed the weight on me.
