I take Seroquel and no, I haven't developed high cholesterol. Is it a side effect?

It can be. That and high blood sugar. It's the result of metabolic syndrome that happens to some people on certain atypical antipsychotics. It sucks.

I will talk to my doc about it and maybe start tracking changes. I take Seroquel PRN. Thanks for the info.
