Sounds like Seroquel. Made me into a chubby zombie.

Haha... a chubby zombie.. well said!!

zeinna I would talk with your doc about the dosage if you can't function.. Maybe lowering it a little would help..
I've found it helps me a great deal but have struggled with some of the same and have had the dose changed
Big hug for ya...xo

I have had good results with latuda. I am actually loosing weight on it and it seems like my cognitive skills are coming back and my memory is getting better. You might want to ask your doctor about it. I still use a small dose of seroquel just for sleep but at higher doses I didn't care about anything I was turning into an obese zombie.

I've played around with adjusting doses on Serquel to get it to not turn me into a Chubbie Zombie (ha! but not so funny!) There seems to be a variety of medications out there to offset the increased appetite. Seroquel is also key when you take it....I bet your pdoc could help you out if you lay out the symptoms that are getting in your way. I know the frustration...let's see if we can get things going your way! Big hug to you and hang in there...

Seroquel and sleep..and fat...yes , a double whammy.

Although sometimes the sleepiness does go away after a while , I think the munchies stick around forever

Dosage and time of day that you take Seroquel are critical

How often do you take it?
Is taking it once a day -- right before bedtime -- an option?

Or is that what you're already doing and it STILL leaves you dragged out the rest of the time?

I'm prescribed Seroquel (Quetiapine) FOR sleep, and it's the one drug that's doing a great job of that for me, with only one unpleasant side effect -- the weight gain.
(The weight gain is a biggie, pun intended, but I really need that sleep.)
I feel just fine the next day, if you're talking 'grogginess' and/or feeling tired.

I'm sorry it's not working out better for you.

If it's having that deleterious impact on your schooling and quality of life in general -- I think the solution is going to be to work with your Pdoc and try to find a med that works better.

Good luck!! I hope things get better!!

I want to add to my chubby zombie comment - I was put on it in the hospital after being massively depressed while on depakote and wellbutrin. They put me on 200 mg to start and moved it up to 300 pretty quickly. I was in a fog for a while. I slept GREAT for the 3 years I took it and no mood swings. But I gained 30 pounds, even with diet and exercise. It actually made me so hungry that I would tke it and stand in front of the cabinet in a stupor eating snacks. I had to beg my dr to go off of it and it took months of titration. Sleep has never been the same and it took a few more months for my metabolism to go back to normal - look up "metabolic syndrome".
So I can't say it didn't help my moods, but i couldn't take the weight gain after a while.
I would definitely talk to your dr about the dosages.
