A member asked:

Is a person usually able to lose weight while taking seroquel? does seroquel work better if taken once,twice, or three times per day for delusions?

Not the case: Seroquel belongs to the second generation antipsychotic class of medications. All the meds within this class are known to cause metabolic derangements (elevated blood glucose, lipids, weight gain). There's slight variations between the meds, with some infamously known to cause more weight gain than others (namely olanzapine & seroquel - same meds that are used to promote sleep & appetite).
