Losing weight while taking Quetiapine

thegeordielass

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience/stories of losing weight whilst taking Quetiapine? I've just started taking it and one of the things my psychiatrist mentioned was it's notorious for weight gain (it's only been a few days and I've got sugar cravings like mad!).
I'm back on MFP as I need to lose weight after gaining a shed load when I was in a several month major depressive episode and I'm hoping someone can boost my motivation with stories that show it's possible so long as I fight the cravings and that gaining isn't inevitable no matter what.
