Hey!
I take Seroquel (~100mg a night) and can't say I've really noticed any weight gain. I'm 6' and 30yrs old. At one point 6 months ago when Lithium was in my mix I was up to 210lbs and unable to drop despite lots of biking/etc. After stopping the Lithium I've come down to 190lbs which is maybe 15lbs above my "optimal" weight. I took Seroquel the whole time and was still able to come down in weight. I also went off Seroquel for a couple weeks in January and my weight stayed steady....so I'm pretty sure it has minimal effect in my case.
Zyprexa on the other hand definitely caused me to gain weight.
