> Does Seroquel cause weight gain like other APs?
i've been using it for two months and have not noticed any weight gain. it seems to be helping out as a mood stabilizer & sleep aid. i'm cautiously optimistic about this medication. my p-doc has had good success with seroquel in his bipolar patients, more so than the other atypicals and mood stabilizers.
> I know that all the older APs like thorazine caused severe weight gain, and some of the more popular newer ones like Risperdal and Zyprexa are even worse, causing "diabesity" (diabetes and obesity, each feeding the other and making the other worse).
