I'm taking 300mgs of seroquel, all at night. Yeah it completely disinhibits my appetite. I have no feeling of satiety. Once I start eating, I can't stop. And it now has a hugh warning about causing type 2 diabetes. Its a serious problem!
My solution? I try to eat very little during the day (for some blessed reason I have little or no appetite during the day) and at dinner time I have a hugh amount of vegetables and the biggest orange I can find for dessert. Its terrible. I feel stuffed to bursting. And scared that I am going to gain weight even with the vegetable strategy. I hate the seroquel. It is helping with my depression but it gives me panic attacks when I wake up and I think it makes me feel shakey all day. I'm just afraid to lower the dose for fear of feeling more depressed. My pdoc wants me to increase the dose...
I think its a bad drug. Does some good at a really high cost. But if like me, you've tried everything, your choices are limited. It sucks!
