"at one point, i was on regular seroquel as needed and seroquel xr daily. during this time, i gained a lot of weight that i just could not take off. i was prescribed the seroquel as needed, 25 mgs up to 3 times a day. 
later on, i was going through something else and seroquel had just gone generic. my psychiatrist put me back on the 25 mg pill as needed. i rarely used it and this time i didn&#039;t gain any weight from it, which i was relieved about. i know they say that the lower doses are supposed to make you really tired, but that didn&#039;t seem to have any effect on me."
