A member asked:
Can i take seroquel (quetiapine) without getting high blood sugar and other side effects? paranoid schizophrenia dx

Yes.: It can cause metabolic syndrome and weight gain as all atypical antipsychotics, but to counteract that, exercise and a healthy diet would help. Monitor your weight. You doctor can check your hemoglobin-AiC, fasting glucose and lipids periodically.
