"seroquil worked great, more than great but there always seems to be a catch isn&#039;t there?  first, i was not on any other meds and was prescribed 200 mg&#039;s out of the gate, which was too much (i&#039;m 5&#039;7, 120 lbs) so i cut it way back and my sweet spot with no hangover was 25 mgs. took it for nearly two years with no complaints. here&#039;s the catch, the weight gain thing, it crept up on me pretty slow i hardly noticed. i don&#039;t own a scale, my eating habits never changed. first 5 lbs, hardly noticed, then 10lb, chalked it up to my age (45). then i looked pregnant and nothing fit and my entire body from my face to ankles looked bloated. when i ran out of my script i stopped and 4 months later i was back to my normal weight. sad to see it go.."
