Hi everyone. I have gained 13 kg since I started my meds 3 years ago. Can’t afford to go any higher. Has anyone experienced weight gain on Quetiapin? I’m taking reagila, quetiapin and lithium. Have a szad. I’m blaming quetiapin for that. But I’m afraid to quit because I might get delusional again…

You gotta exercise more and eat less if you want to lose weight @Jasmine
The meds will make you hungry. I used to have a problem in that department too. You just gotta learn to control it.

You might want to switch to a medicine with lower risk of weight gain like abilify, quetiapine has a medium risk of weight gain from what I know
I was on quetiapine and I gained weight very quickly on it because of the late night hunger cravings. My psychiatrist has put me back on it again and I’m just trying to sleep through the cravings. I’m thinking of switching to abilify but I can’t until my psychiatrist sees how the quetiapine works as I didn’t give it a fair shot last time.
I have day cravings despite the fact that I take quetiapin in the evening. How can it be?
