Hi Everyone. One more question about Seroquel.... I've been reading past posts that Seroquel does increase appetite. I've been wondering a little about this as well--I've noticed some increased appetite, especially maybe in the mornings..... Thank you for your help! Lucia

The one thing I have noticed, though, is that if I eat big meals, I am real, real tired, and often fall asleep. If I eat light, I am OK.
Please remember this: Every meds affects everyone differently.

atypicals in general seem to have some effect on increasing appetite (although the weight gain can also be due to other, as yet unexplained factors). If its a big problem, you could try adding metformin (glucophage, glucophage xr)--that should also help stabilize blood sugar, which is always a good thing. Apparently some nutritionists are good at setting up diets to minimize problems with the atypicals; you may want to consider dropping in and chatting with a nutritionist to see if they can offer you some assistance. Good luck!
