Sequel is making me gain a great deal of weight - is there something else I can take for depression that won't cause weight gain?
There are plenty of other antidepressants out there you could try, but like Seroquel, most of them will have weight gain as a possible side effect. Plus, you may find one that doesn't cause weight gain, but it may not work as well for you. The best thing I can suggest is that if it is more than 10lbs gain, just discuss the options with your psychiatrist. They will know you better and be able to recommend a specific change that might give you positive results with less side effects. If it's not a severe gain, then you should not worry that much about it... Better to fit slightly tighter into your clothes than feel like the world is ending or life isn't worth it, etc...
First,Seroquell is an antypsychotic and not an antidepressant.
I am taking seroquell too,and have aslo problems with weight gain.
I even don't eat much but anyway ....
