hey ace,
my baseline state is as one of those skinny girls who stuff their faces but don't get fat. when i was on zyprexa, though, i gained about 4 pounds a week. even though i was eating a lot, that doesn't explain how i could gain so much weight, so i think there is something to say about the drug messing up metabolism. i'm not sure whether i can make a direct connection with seroquel or not, but when i was on a dose of between 50 and 100mg recently, my appetite was huge, and i ate more than usual without feeling full. i think that even with all that, i didn't gain weight or gained very little weight. go figure. if you find out more, let me know. seroquel has been great for my sleep, but it leaves me hungry and groggy the next day. good luck!
