Dealing with Seroquel Weight Gain

I also get hungry after taking Seroquel - my friend who was also on it said we had to get our "seroquel snack" together before the meds kick in 😆 Thankfully the weight that I gained when first getting on it has mostly gone away, and I don't work out that much

Yes, it got to the point where my doc put me on weight loss meds. Some days I was literally eating nonstop all day. I already struggle with binge eating so the seroquel just made it 10x worse. But the weight loss meds are def helping although I know they're not the right option for everyone.

I crave sugar and carbs. Have been taking it for about 5 years and I've gained some weight since. Part of that I do put down to the medication and cravings but part of it was aging and lifestyle. I started it when I was 28 and very active in college and I'm not 34 and less active. So metabolic changes and lifestyle changes also contributed to that. I've gained 10kg in that time which puts me about 7kg overweight. I've tried to lose it and it's much harder than if was in my 20s. But also I don't know how much of that I can blame on the meds. Overall I am willing to take the weight gain in order to enjoy my life more

🙌omg yes i crave sugar everytime i take it and im on 100mg of serequel and i have gained 80 pounds since i have been taking it

Same here. 😭✋ Since I've been on quetiapine (seroquel), the weight gain has been unbelievable. I'm just eating what I crave and it's starting to take a toll in me

It makes me hungry, every day after I take it... I feel like seroquil wants sugar, the sweets I crave is stupid. I was doing really good for a while making keto desserts, that def helped. But I try to eat things like peanut butter and jelly in a bowl, popcorn, string cheese, nuts, and fresh berries. And feel completely satisfied, as if I did eat that damn donut. It's the willpower I lack lately The struggle is real. I hope I was helpful and I'm interested in any other opinions any one has on this great debacle
