Hi Jan...
Yes, my weight gain stopped immediately & I even dropped some of it, which was welcome. I don't really feel sedated on Seroquel. I would say if you are a female to go for it (Seroquel). It is the least problematic (fewer side effects) than Risperdal or Zyprexa. My life is improved.
Keep posting.

My pdoc said to go ahead and increase but I may experience sedation. My girl friend says I have zero tolerance for sedation. Another option is to go back to Risperdal in combo with bromocriptine. I'm only on 50 mg of Seroquel. My question is what are the side effects of Seroquel like at a therapeutic level? Is the benefit worth the side effects?
