Bipolar Disorde
"I took Quetiapine (Seroquel) for a little over a year. The pro&#039;s of this medication are that it helps me sleep and seems to tackle bipolar depression quite nicely. It also seems to make me less volatile and capricious. The con&#039;s unfortunately became too much. I gained over 50 pounds during my time on the drug, my blood pressure sky-rocketed and no amount of healthy eating or exercise helped me lose weight and keep it off. I have the appetite of a racehorse when I take it in the evening and my binging became dangerous. I also sustained a number of injuries to my legs and feet because my body couldn&#039;t keep up with the rapid weight gain during exercise. It&#039;s a good med, but be mindful that it causes weight gain!"
