Hello all,

I currently yake 150 mg of seroquel nightly, and find that it GREATLY increases appetite. Almost absurdly so.

Does this appetite increase go away eventually?

Thanks!

I hope so, since I'm having the same probem. I'm at 200mg and in 6 days I go up to 300mg. I've heard weight gain is a major problem with this drug. I resisted going on it but finally agreed to try, since nothing else has worked. I can't tell this is helping either. I'm still depressed.

If reported weight gain then that's what happens, you may be lucky but its a trade off for your health , no free lunch on the med train.

for me the weight gain was a bonus, It shot up quick but i ended up maintaining a properly healthy weight.
I've lost 15kg (i think that's about 30lbs) since coming off it
