it is much harder to loose weight after you gain it, even if the medication has caused the weight gain. Ive been looking for medicines to aid me in weight loss and i havnt found one that is sucessful with no horrible side effects. unfortunitly good ol diet and exorcise is the only thing that can help. eating more fiber and protien and less fat and carbs. the way the medicines have you gain weight is it throws your hormones and chemicals in your body and brain off so you actually gain the weight by eating more so its not the medicine alone that makes you gain weight, it makes you change your lifestyle which puts on the weight so the only thing you can do to get it off is change your habits and lifestyles. make small goals and reward yourself. good luck, ive been tryign to get rid of a significant amount of weight for a long time now and it is very difficult but i have faith that you can do it! good luck
This is something you need talk about to the doctor who prescribed you the seroquel. It will depend on why you ve put the weight on, whether you re hungrier and eating more, whether you re emotionally eating, or whether there has been a physiological change to your body chemistry which is causing you to gain weight.The best thing you can do, as in any weight-gain situations, is to eat properly and exercise more. Don t just cut out food, but make sure you re getting sufficient vitamins and minerals, especially B vitamins. Ensure you re getting some exercise every day.I know a couple of people on seroquel, and their weight has not changed significantly since they began taking it. Make sure it s not another medication too - antidepressants often cause increased appetite and reduced metabolism.
i don t think it will go down by its own. you gained weight not because of the meds, the meds only made you want to eat more, they don t make you gain weight. if you eat more, you gain weight. i have been on seroquel and i know what is like. try to eat healthy and exercise if possible. avoid junk food and eat much fruit and vegetables. you don t have to go on an extreme diet to lose weight.i don t know if there is a pill. its better to lose weight by eating healthy.
