[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 660667, member: 15832"] Hi Nomad. My kid gained 40 lbs on Seroquel one time. Those atypical antipsychotics will do it. His psychiatrist at the time did mention putting him on metformin. It helps to metabolize glucose. He lost all the weight when taken off of seroquel. Hygiene and appearance went out the window when he was put on zyprexa. It's better now that he is on the lowest dose, but he still needs gentle reminders and encouragement. It seemed like the higher dose zapped his energy and motivation and that he just didn't give a care what he looked like. Stuff like dirty clothes, pants in 90 degree weather, long unkempt hair, etc. I feel your pain. I've had a rough weekend myself worrying about my son. [/QUOTE]
