SEROQUEL: Weight gain: 20+ pounds!!!

I am a fairly healthy 53 year old woman who started taking 400 mg./day SEROQUEL 5 months ago. I weighed 120 lbs. before I started taking the medication & now weigh 144 lbs. ONLY IN MY BELLY. My butt, thighs & arms are the same size as they were since I was 18.

I can't seem to lose the weight despite walking 2 mi./day + working out 3X/week. Question

What is up with this?? Does anyone out there have a similar problem??

I would appreciate ANY input from ANYONE!!!

Thanks a bunch...

I am Bipolar and I got 2 enemies.. 1 is Seroquel 600mg a day, to stop the psychosis end 2.. Oviril Dekapote the mood stabilizer. I am hungry all the time and i gained around 20 ponds too. Now i lost about 5 kilo's. Bu then i also ate oranges and canceled everything with sugar. That's irritating because tea without sugar is boring. I still have a problem with weith gain.
