Thank you :)
Hi Emily,
I haven't used Quetiapine but I have done my research online and alot of reviews say that one of the side effects is unfortunately weight gain. I would suggest researching other anti-pyschotic medications which perhaps don't have weight gain as a side effect such as Aripripozale and discuss these alternative options with your Doctor. Also diet and exercise can help to combat the weight gain, so this could also be an option if necessary.
I hope this helps!
