No: I don't think so, especially if you do not eat more calories than you expend. Met -formin can also help you lose weight while you are on quetiapine. If this fails for some reason then you can ask to be switched to another stabilizing medication. Best wishes.

Maybe: But if you are very careful about how much you eat and how much you exercise. Making sure you watch those two things well, will help to make sure that even if the quitipin make weight gain likely, you can counter this with diet and exercise.

Seroquil can make yo: Seroquil can make you sleepy ; make it more difficult to lose weight. Perhaps you will do better with regular, vigorous exercise, especially outside. As you lose weight your mood will improve. Check vitamin B12 if you take metformin for a long time, as it causes a slow decline. With diet ; exercise you may no longer need any med. If you have acne or hair changes you should consider spironolactone.
