Dose dependent wt gain?

Posted by lauran on March 15, 2003, at 11:36:01

I am back to taking Seroquel 12.5 mg at bedtime and prn. It has been very successful for me for over one year. My question concerns weight gain.
Does anyone know if weight gain and metabolism change on Seroquel are dose dependent? Some time ago I read that it doesn't matter whether you take 12.5 mg or 600 mg, the weight gain side effect will be just the same for both doses?
I did gain 20 lbs over one year but had also been on Paxil CR for 6 months of that year so cannot pinpoint exactly which med did it. I do exercise and count calories the majority of the time so I know the weight is med related. Losing though and feeling physically better.
