A member asked:

Is there a drug that works like seroquel (quetiapine) without the weight gain, blood sugar rise, and raise in chelesterol and tryglyserides?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Atypicals: There r several atypical medications the the fda has approved for bipolar/schizophrenia disorders. Work with your professional to find one that works. The one i've had most weight gain is zyprexa (olanzapine).
