Hi Lisa. I was on Seroquel 25-50 mg at bedtime to help with sleep disturbance. This med was a excellent for me. I recently stopped it to try Abilify. Even though I think staying on a new med for at least 2-3 months is important. suffice it to say I am stopping the Abilify and going back to my much beloved Seroquel.
I also use Seroquel for anxiety and it has helped my depression in the long run. I did gain a few pounds at first from increased appetite and decreased metabolism, but it leveled off and I am slowly taking the pounds off. I am decreasing my calories and increasing my exercise. Wow. And some people pay big bucks for that info. :D
I sure wish you luck with Seroquel. I am feeling so much better just knowing I am going back on it.
