I want to know if it’s a big weight gainer on 100mg or 25 mg ? What dose do u take ? How much does it make u sleeep ?
My wife used to take 300 mg of it for sleep. She looked like she was 12 months pregnant on it. Only gained weight in her belly.
Her doctor did all kinds of tests on her. I told her it was probably the Seroquel and then her doctor agreed.
They put her on Ambien and now she is skinny again.

I gained like 70lbs on seroquel,
But I was taking really large doses.
300mg morning and evening.
Took a long time to lose that weight.

I take 300mg at night for sleep. Absolutley no weight gain (i actually wish it did - too skinny!) Only side effects is a slight hangover in the morning when i wake up - but coffee soon sorts that out. Dont sleep at all without it.
Was on 100mg at first - but soon gained a tolerance to it - 300mg for me is my happy medium.

I have been taking seroquel for sleep every night for more than 10 years. At first I took 100mg but then reduced to 25mg. I stayed on this doasage for more than 7 years and luckily haven’t gained a tolerance to it.

Hear what your saying. Touch wood - the 300mg is still doing its job. Any lower and i cant sleep - and any higher than that gives me blinding headaches in the morning.

I take 50mg twice a day, one of those times is for sleep.
I haven’t gaine weight on them, but I am on medication to control my bloodsugar already, so that might have helped. I hear Seroquel can raise your bloodsugar, which might make you gain weight
