[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 162638, member: 2423"] Christy, how much Seroquel is your son taking? It really does affect the appetite control center of the brain so I honestly don't think this is something you can completely control. You can keep only healthy foods in the house and you can teach about nutrition and portion control, but your difficult child really is hungrier than if he weren't taking Seroquel. Seroquel is generally given at night because it's sedating. Moving it to another time of day might very well interfere with your son's functioning. Geodon is not supposed to cause as many problems with hunger and weight gain. Have you thought about getting rid of Seroquel and using Geodon instead? My son takes a hefty dose of Seroquel, but he also takes Zonegran, a mood stabilizer that suppresses appetite. In the last 6 months, he has grown 1.5 inches and lost 7 pounds! Topamax is another medication that suppresses appetite. You might want to ask your psychiatrist about these medications. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
