WEIGHT GAIN!!!!! UGH!!
Does anyone know if the weight gain from seroquel is from the excess food we take in or do we gain from just taking the pill itself.
I say this because I am eating just as much as I did before (maybe a tad more) taking the pill and I seemed to have put on a whopping 15 lbs. It is unusual.. just wondering if this happened to anyone of you. Weight gain is an issue for me --I used to be anorexic.. the littliest rise in lbs kills me. thanks
