I have been having a similar problem on 100mg of Seroquel where I never feel hungry but once I start eating I can't stop. Sadly I haven't found a way to get my appetite back or slow it once I start eating, but my mother suggested that I take cues from those around me and eat when I see them eat and stop when they stop. It has helped a bit. Good luck!

I was on seroquel once and put on a ton of weight. Maybe drink a huge glass of water before you eat? That sometimes has helped fill me up.

I'm on 700mg of Seroquel it's supposed to help me sleep but all it does is make me feel like a zombie. I'm on six different medications and it feels like all I do is take medication. The only good thing is that they keep me level. Wishing you the best.

eat lots of raw veggies, find ones that have lots off natural fiber in them. the more natural fiber you eat the more you get filled up. super foods like apples are good also. if you do a little research you'll find healthy foods that you can eat that will help fill your appetite but don't cause you to gain weight.

I didn't suffer the curse of gaining heaps with taking seroquel, until they took the abilify away. Some days I honestly could eat me out of house and home now. I need to get it under control, but it seems beyond me atm.

Sympathy, I know, pardon the pun, that its a bitter pill to swallow x

((kitkat)) someone mentioned to drink water I am on Saphris which has the same effect I drink a bottle water before I eat it does help fills you up quicker I was never a water drinker just didnt like it but now I do to prevent the empty feeling the thing is with these meds is that is actually water weight we gain so then more water you drink the more you urinate. I would drink a lot of water like 6 glasses a day sounds like a lot but when you start doing it it becomes a habit. Also my pdoc (psychiatrist) told me the weight gain is also from not being active I just recently lost a lot of weight and was pretty scared after all that work I would gain it back after starting the saphris he tolld me to stick with the water but also to start being more active you may not lose what you gained easy it but it will happen and the more active you are you will not gain anymore hope it helps LOL jan always God Bless

Hi KitKat,
I'm so sorry to hear about the increased appetite on Seroquel it's a know side effect for sure. Don't be shy about telling your pdoc this is happening and you are not happy about it. There are many good suggestions here. Does exercise help keep your appetite from being to big? I also make vegetable broth and drink a cup of that in between meals it helps satisfy me without much in the calorie department. Good luck tell us what happens....

I have the same problem unfortunately...sigh...the med has been great for the balancing act but a bugger triggering my brain into believing it's famished...xo
