For most people the answer is Yes. I, myself have been on different SSRIs for nearly 8 years. My weight has absolutely skyrocketed in this time. No matter what i do it will not come off. Im a 6'0 male who is 26 now. I started the meds after high school and i weighed 160 pounds. Fast forward eight or so years and many doctors later and i now weigh 270 pounds. I eat less than 2,000 calories per day and exercise regularly. As a long time sufferer of Panic Disorder i feel obligated to STRONGLY pass on this advice:

The ONLY thing that will cure anxiety or depression problems is psychological counseling. Medications will only suppress the underlying issues and for many end up causing more harm than good. In the end if you do try medication, have an exit strategy to come off of it. SSRI's are EXTREMELY hard to come off of and withdrawal symptoms are severe (Brain Zaps are Horrible).

I kind of got off track there a little but to answer your question from years of experience........YES

Weight Watchers may be a good addition to helping you loose the weight put on from taking Seroquel, but it is unlikely to be as effective as it would be for people not taking the drug.

Your best bet is to speak with your doctor.
