Hi, I took the 300mg of Seroquel for like 2 weeks. I started out at 200mg though. The weight gain didn't hit me right away-but has been ongoing. Now that I'm down to only 100mg-the weight gain has calmed down a little-plus-I'm eating better, drinking more water, and trying to ride my bike more:-)
Keep in touch:-)

About waking up at 6am - kind of a bad thing considering that this is the beginning of spring break and I should be able to sleep in. I've never smoked before.
When you said that you took 300mg, did you take it just once or for awhile? I remember reading that you've taken the Serequel since '99. Did the weight gain hit you right away, and then it stabilized or was it ongoing for quite awhile? My shrink says that the average weight gain is 5-10 lb - but I know that once I start gaining weight, I can't stop, and I'll gain a lot more than that.
