seroquel

[roses_for_the_dead]

I have been on seroquel since around christmas and i have gained weight not loads well to be honest its only a couple of pounds i think, i don't really weigh myself often enough, but lately i have been feeling more heavy if that makes sense and its since the meds have increased. How will i know if its seroquel, because im worried that it may be the beginning of a big increase in weight and i probs would end up in hospital if i gain anymore weight, if its due to seroquel.

The only reason im worrying about it now is because the only person who could change the seroquel is ths physc i see every 6 months and im seeing her next week. So itd be now or in another 6 months that the meds would change.

The main thing im asking is should i blame seroquel for any weight gain and be worried or should i leave it for a while and see what happens? im just so scared of gaining anymore weight because i know that it could possibly kill me if i did.

thanks, nic

it is possible to gain weight from Seroquel.
I'm taking it since September and I haven't gained weight from it.
Maybe bring it up with your psych and ask them how likely it is that you gained because of the Seroquel. Maybe there is a similar medication without the weight gain?

I gained a bit of wait on seroquel,like mute.scream said talk to your pysch about it and discuss the options with them they can guide you on what would be best.
