To ask if 300mg of quetiapine would affect someone’s weight

[User262626]

Or is the dose to low?

i would say so. i was on a lower dose and i gained over five stone on it. its only now ive come off it that ive started to lose weight. while i was on it, the weight just wouldnt shift no matter what i did

Weren't you posting about this yesterday?

It certainly COULD affect weight gain. Every individual is different, but yes, that's a dose that is perfectly capable of resulting in weight gain over an extended period.

I posted about his weight yes but not about the medication impact

Wikipedia lists it as a common side effect

This, again?

Were the answers not satisfactory, yesterday?

Yes it will massively, I'm on half that and can't shift the weight even though I eat far less than my size 6 18 year old.

It didn’t everyone comment on this and his weight and the dosage on your thread yesterday?

300mg a day here for 10+ years and despite lowering intake and uping exercise. I lost very little. It's very difficult to shift

The only person I have known to take it was on 300mg a day in two doses and wasn't at all overweight. Had been on it for years, expected to be on it for the foreseeable future. They also had a huge appetite and ate a lot, including hoovering up others leftovers, loads of junk snacks, sweets, pop, and takeaways at least three times a week.
They were on other medication too, perhaps that makes a difference? Or they were just lucky...

I gained weight on 50mg

I gained 3 stone in 3 months when on 50 - 400mg quetiapine. I also never got it off even after I stopped. That medication saved my life though.
