Weight gain: Unfortunately, the medications you are taking are known to cause weight gain. DO not stop them as your underlying mental health conditions must be treated. Maintain a healthy lifestyle - exercise 30 minutes 5x a week, avoid fatty fried foods, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. I am not convinced that green bean extract is a magic wt loss pill. You can try it - should not interfere with meds.

Med weight gain: Agree with others skeptical of green coffee bean extract for weight loss. Seroquel (quetiapine) is most likely cause for weight gain. Review with prescribing doctor to consider tapering and trying alternative at lowest dose possible less likely to cause weight gain. Weight gain from Seroquel (quetiapine) is reversible. Meantime, eat healthy, avoid junk food, limit alcohol and exercise as much as possible. Hope this helps.
