I have only been onSeroquel for two years. Severe weight gain, 75 pounds? But there was mass confusion in what I heard, ie, a question, and what I answered. The doctor wanted me in the hospital for a closed head inury I got at work. You do not take seroquel for a closed head injury, he just wanted the bread fro9m the insurance companies. Seroquel once taken for a few weeks can make you act weird enough to allow a shrink to get you in a psychiatric ward. I learned that was his forte and when I refused because of knee surgeries, the Orthopedica Specialist went ballistic and calleed my family doctor and put me on lithium for a year, a much safer drug. Read, research, and learn from the pharmacist what your prescribed drug can do before you get it filled. It may be not for you at all. Seroquel is only for Schizophrenics which is not a closed head injury.
