this is a common side effect of this class of medications. my recommendation is to always talk to your health care provider first. they may be able to lower the dose of your medication so the weight gain may subside. they may also refer you to a nutritionist who can help you with diets and eating habits. many patients that i talk to also try taking up simple exercises like walking. simple steps like this can go a long way.
i am taking seroquel and gained quite a bit of weight. what is the best diet to follow while taking this medication?
