Seroquel Weight Gain And Coming Off It
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I gained 30 pounds on this drug and I hate it. My Dr prescribed me a high dose of 400 mg at night and then 25 mg three times a day a day for anxiety. Well I decided to stop taking it and taper myself off. Right now I'm down to 50mg at night.

Hello, Pyper! How are you?
Yes, many of these types of medications can cause weight gain as a side effect.
How are you doing with such a drastic dosage cut? Any withdrawal symptoms, such as worsening depression or anxiety?
How long were you taking it?
