Seroquel and weight loss

Hi,
I have been on Cilift for anxiety and depression for 13 years. I also have hypothyroidism so am on Eltroxin every day. I have been on Urbanol for a while but it was not helping the extreme anxiety. I was prescribed Seroquel and have been on it for 3 weeks. My anxiety seems to be far worse, especially in the mornings but it does help me sleep at night. Stilnox sleeping tablets were not working. I have a pain in my chest, severe headaches, tingling feeling in my hands and a 'funny head'. I am on Yasmin as I have the Mirena but it does not work. The Mirena is still fitted. I have now read on this site (thank goodness I came across it) that both these cause extreme anxiety. I have now stopped the Seroquel and plan to stop the Yasmin and have the Mirena removed. If you have any similar experiences please comment.

I have been on seroquel for 5 years now. Of course I gained weight, but I used healthy diet and exercise to maintain a healthy weight. However, despite all that my cholesterol is at 260. The doctor tried to say it wasn't Seroquel, but I know it is. I have weened myself off over the past few weeks and it has now been 4 days without it. I am constantly nauseous, cannot sleep and at this point am scared to death because I remember how horrifying getting off Effexor was. Can anyone tell me if this gets any better?

I am sooo down because of this stupid seroquel,
Reading all of these, I'm starting to connect a lot of
what all you guys are going through, and I'm also
the same. The most frustrating one, is the weight
gain, I was 115 when I left a rehab center for psyches,
and in 4-5 months I've gained 20 lbs just eating
normal food, and I don't over eat, It's soo frustrating,
I would eat 500 ca. a day for some month, and
I would gain weight because of that! I have at least
a fast metabolism so when I exercise it does decrease
my weight really fast, (take vitamin B if you're suffering
from weight loss, it quickens your metabolism) but
besides that, I've lost coordination skills, tripping all
over the place, dropping items. Panic Attacks, trouble
breathing (agina) Dry Eyes, Thirst, Nausea, Depression,
Fatigue, and mostly what I've lost the most, mental
intelligence, I can't think anymore like I used, to.
Its frustrating to not be able to think as fast, I think
real slow now..

I was diagnosed with Dysthmia in April 07 and the doc prescribed Seroquel (25mg) and Topamax (25mg) I took them for about a week and felt spacey, like I was floating or something. I was scared to drive to work for fear that I would zone out and get in a car accident. So I stopped taking both after a week. Then I started again with both meds (same dosages) this Oct. I'm still on them and haven't experienced any weight gain. If anything, I'm losing weight...but since weight loss is a side effect of Topamax, it's probably countering the appetite gain effects of the Seroquel. My sex life is completely gone. I'm becoming emotionless and I feel like a zombie. Even on 25 mg I fall asleep within 25-30 minutes of taking the Seroquel. I'm so drowsy in the morning and it takes me a long time to get moving in the morning. I am always tired and seem to be fatigued most of the time. Once in awhile I have extreme energy bursts. My mood is more stable, but I plan to begin weaning myself off soon because I want my love life back. Also I have frequent muscle pains on the side of my stomach. Not sure where its coming from...I feel like I've been beat up.

I have been on Seroquel for years now I have lost a lot of weight since I have been on it. I have been in the danger zone from all the weight loss..so it will go ither way of gaining or losing..
