I have gained 30 pounds this year since going back on Seroquel. So now that is a total of 85 pounds over the last five years. I have been going on and off it because of the weight gain but it is the only thing that help my depression. It has gotten so bad that recently just walking has become hard. I feel my muscles in my legs burning and I get out of breath. Do again I am at a cross roads of mental stability versus physical health. My T never wants me off Seroquel again. I take Metformin but it doesn’t seem to help. I have back pain all the time too. I am so depressed over this weight gain and now I have body image issues. I won’t let anybody take my picture.

Why do I have to choose between mental health and physical health? I was an athlete my whole life so being obese is very hard for me.
