However, not everyone who takes Seroquel will instantly gain large amounts of weight, and vice-versa for Zyprexa.
A way of coming up with a plan to manage it before it gets to a point is a good idea though. Cutting down one's input calories is one sure way of preventing it, but its rather hard I know personally because its very easy to reach for snacks.
As for its benefits for GAD, I would say its an individual situation but it probably should be something that should be used after other methods have been tried.
