Venting i was recently prescribed seroquel..

[deadwinter]

hi,

i've always been hesitant about antipsychotics because of the weight gain associated w them.

i was recently prescribed seroquel to treat anxiety & depression. i was upset, but felt i didn't have much choice tbh (bc i haven't responded well to antidepressants).

i want to give seroquel a chance, but i'm terrified of gaining. i've been crying all weekend & i don't know wht 2 do.

i need to lose weight. i need to restrict to feel control n distract myself from everything.. is gaining weight inevitable? is it possible to lose weight on antipsychotics??

i feel disgusting
