OKAY SO:
My experience on Seroquel, bc I’ve seen heaps of things on here about weight gain and stuff. I started Seroquel when I was diagnosed with Anorexia, OCD and mood disorder in 2015ish. I struggled really hard with with my ED for the next few years. Seroquel didn’t make me gain any weight. I was put on two different medications for that purpose, Epilim and Endep. Fast forward 5 years, I’m fully recovered and I take Seroquel to stabilise my mood and to help me sleep. It increases your appetite, yes it does 100%. But in my case, I’ve taken lots of drugs that affect my weight, seroquel is not one of them, its just makes you a little more hungry. Seroquel saves my life, ensures I’m not a manic mess or a recluse pile of sheets for weeks.
Of course everyone is different, and meds work differently on everybody but for people who are considering not giving certain meds a go on this basis, please dont
