I've been on both types of Seroquel. I went or the normal one for a few years, then the XR as it was less sedative, now I'm back on the normal one.
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that they eat more or get more cravings with one more than the other? Since I changed back to Seroquel I am finding its harder to control my eating habits, but I have always had binge eating disorder so its hard for me to tell if this is a phase or maybe the medication is a bit different. I have heard that some people are more likely to put on more weight with one than the other.

I don't remember noticing any difference although I was able to be on less (just a small dose) of XR at first and that helped with weight. Over time my dose has gone way up and so has my weight.
