Hi i'm new to the site but not weight loss.
I lost 80+ pounds between 2010 and 2012.
Seroquel blew me up from about 100 to 180+.
I had to stop all meds because I had not just
become over weight but had a diabetes scare with the weight.

thank you

    Zyprexa, depakote, and abilify took me from 130 to 275 so I feel your pain. I'm down thirty, so weight loss is possible even after meds mess up your metaboilsim.

    I've never been on haldol. I hope you it is weight neutral for you. I've had great luck with saphris.

    I went from 135 to 160 - it took a few years though. I am now on the Atkins diet. It helps with my cravings for carbs, and I am working out, so the weight is coming off.
