My doctor started me on a higher dose of seraquel but lowered it gradually because he said it does cause weight gain. The mid day dose used to make me want to eat non stop for 2 hours.

I gained 60 on seroquel then lost 40 of it from not taking it and switching to ability. Once I ditched the ability for geodon it was like 20 pounds fell off of me! From experience I share that. I’m on lamictal now and that’s acceptable. If you don’t want to gain weight, steer clear of Zyprexa on all accounts! (Mostly used as an anti-psychotic though)
