Hello there! I have been taking SeroquelXR for around 6 months (used to take 3x400 = 1200mg, now I am on 2x400 = 800mg). During these 6 months I have gained 10+ kilos (used to be 66kilos, now I am around 78-80 , height 1,87.) Problem is that part of this weight gain is gain in fat. I never had a belly and now I have one. I exercise regularly (swimming 3-4 times per week, daily exercise of pushups,abs and bar). It's pretty certain that 2nd generation antipsychotics are linked to weight gain but I would like to know if more specifically it's fat gain. Should I be aware of something (maybe diabetes type II or cardiovascular diseases, according to wikipedia?) I eat enough/more than enough , 4 meals per day, 2 full meals (lunch and dinner) , small breakfast and milk & eggs during the evening after exercise.
I also have noticed increased heart rate (90-95bpm...)
If this isn't the right forum section, feel free to move it (but send me a PM so that I can find it).
Thanks in advance,
