I am on Seroquel and have not found weight gain a problem. However, what I do notice is that it turns off my appestat meaning that I lose my sense of fullness and just keep eating. I manage that by having liquid shakes of protein powders and other nutrtional suppliments during the day and eating a ton of veggies at dinner. I also try to put in 40 minutes or so on the treadmill.
I would agree with Jay that it does have a dulling or blunting effect. I'm not wild about it but for me, right now, that is helpful as I tend to be hyper-emotional and easily overwhelmed by my feelings. I haven't noticed any effect on sex though I did feel more interested in sex when I added on Pristiq. Pristiq, sadly, has killed any sexual sensation at all. But that was not a problem on the seroquel alone.
Hope this helps.
