I think I am going to be coming off seroquel soon. I have put so much weight on with it and I am just wondering if anyone has lost the weight when coming off it? Or will I have to work my ass off to get rid of it? Lol

I found it easy to lose weight when even cutting down to a lower dosage of seroquel to about 50mg..I also found out i couldnt sleep anymore either. Insomnia came back with a venegence. I think with out serquel i could lose all the weight i gained when taking it with no problem. I also think it turns off the, IM FULL reseptors in my body when taking it.
Caution, dyslexic writer ahead.
Spell check please

I really hope it's the same for me. I was a size 8 when I started on Seroquel and now I'm a size 12. I'm physically overweight for the first time in my life and it doesn't make me feel very good
