>To Jay,
I don't believe that I suffered any anxiety, above what I already had, from Zyprexa. But it is true that I had to start taking Buspar to allay excess anxiety while I was on Zyprexa. I haven't slept well two nights in a row, unlike the sound sleep I had while on Zyprexa. I woke up early this morning thinking I should swallow the unending weight gain and go back on Zyprexa and off Seroquel. Any thoughts on this dilemma?Mimi

I honestly don't see why you wouldn't do good on the Seroquel, and regarding the weight gain, I understand and have read that after the first three-four months on the med, the weight gain 'levels off'. So, go slow and 'low' with the Seroquel. Please keep posting. Best wishes..:-)
