It also slows down your metabolism and decreases your thyroid hormones, drastically. The weight gain is hard and fast, within the first 12 weeks (3 months) of starting treatment.
I gained 80lbs in three months from being on seroquel, lexapro and tegretol. All the exercise in the world and dieting didn't help it. The only thing that is helping is reducing the amount of those drugs in my system.

What is worse weight gain on depakote dr or seroquel?
Seroquel is definitely the weight gainer. I've been on and off Depakote before with very little weight fluctuation, however with Seroquel I had not only a huge appetite that forced me to eat more, but I put on 20lbs in 2 weeks! I was really not into Seroquel at first, but it really did help with my mania.

How long before the weight gain created by Seroquel is reversed after discontinuation?

I have been taking seroquel for 5 years. Initially I gained 50 pounds, but after starting a healthy eating programme and gentle excercise the pounds are starting to come off.

Tell the doctor immediately if you experience weight gain. I had this happen to me with Seroquel.
Does seroquel work for headaches?
yes, after a million years of going to doctors, neurologist and pain management the only thing that has worked in the slightest has been seroquel. i don't take it every day just if i get a bad headache. it knocks you out but when you wake up you feel much better. No weight gain at all and nothing else that i can think of. it is worth a try
Will you lose weight after you stop taking lithium?
I've been on seroquel 100mg for the past two years and have recently decided to change to Zeldox/Geodon after gradually putting on 9kg. My Psychiatrist tells me that most people lose the weight they put on (depending on how much) quite quickly after stopping seroquel, and for the amount I put on it should take weeks rather than months. I cant really say what the case would be if someone was on a very high dose and/or put on large amount of weight, but hope that helps :)
