[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 195469, member: 2423"] All the atypical antipsychotics are notorious for causing weight gain, although some are worse than others. My son has not gained weight on Seroquel, but he is also taking the mood stabilizer Zonegran, which supresses appetite. I think it's the only way his eating wouldn't have spun out of control. Sometimes -- although I don't know how common this is -- an AP will cause a lot of weight gain in the first year and then taper off in the second year. That's what happened with my daughter M, who gained a ton of weight in her first year of taking Zyprexa and then in her second year grew in height without putting a pound on. She now looks totally proportional. [/QUOTE]
