"i was prescribed seroquel when i had just recently been put on buspar for anxiety and was not feeling beneficial effects yet. it was a break glass in case of emergency medication for me. thankfully, the buspar did not take too long to kick in and i only had to take a few of the seroquel. it has been a few years since then and i still had the mostly full bottle with me. my new doctor decided to stop refilling my trazodone for 4 months and so i started taking seroquel again at night to help me sleep. it did help me sleep and did wonders for my anxiety and occasional racing thoughts, however over the course of a month, i managed to gain 40 lbs. i have since run out and am happily taking trazodone again, but i have not lost any of this weight. i was not terribly excited about my weight before and now i&#039;m nearing 200 lbs, which is not a healthy weight for me."
