> Thanks for your reply, though it does sound as if you have been through the proverbial mill, and I am never glad to hear of a fellow sufferer. It amazes me that some of your doctors don't see or own up to the Neurontin weight gain potential. But as PopEye would say (I think?) "I knows what I knows." We do have excellent documentation to back this one up.

> Seroquel in low dose isn't stopping me from weight loss, but the process is slow. It can be an added devastation coping with massive and inexplicable weight gain caused from psych meds either on their own, or maybe made worse in combination. But the good news is that we can deal with this.There's so much to try--different meds, different combos, different doses. And all the lifestyle things, like trying Atkins. An obese relative of mine has found Atkins to be the only diet that has allowed sustained weight loss.

Knock on wood, this could be the year you leave the rotten old mill and its dirty old pond behind, lol!!Thanx ramsea, i wish all who i've discussed my case with were both as informed, sensitive and sincere as you have been.
