Did serequel make you gain weight?
I just started it. 150mg at bedtime. Right now I'm at a healthy weight of 120 and am 5'4. I also take 300mg of lamictal and 2mg of clonazepam as needed. Did serequel make you gain? I'd rather not gain weight. ;o)
Lol. That's a great name for it.
In our support group we call it ZyFATsa. Ha
So far I haven't had any weight changes (but I haven't been on it that long). Only thing I've noticed is that I feel like I'm hungry all of the time, and normally I eat like a bird. Just will have to wait and see. I was on zyprexa for a very brief time a long time ago and it made me gain ten pounds in one week. No joke. Lol.
I'm not sure. I took Seraquel for 4+ yrs with Zonisimide. I gained weight, but I was on Zyprexa for a short time & that does make you gain weight.
It's sometimes a trade off, depending on how much it benefits you.
In my case it was also my mood stabilizer as I can not tolerate side effects of lithium or Lamictal.
Sometimes these medications slow the metabolism.
Being aware is a good thing. Just keep paying attention. Maxy
