Hi All,
I was taking Seroquel XR 100mg for depression and anxiety, but Dr and I made the decision to switch to another drug because I was gaining weight. I was around 170# (5'11") when I started Seroquel, and was around 188-189# when I stopped. I finally got settled on a total dose of 60mg of Geodon daily, which I understand does not cause weight gain, but I unfortunately have not lost weight. I may have gained another 1-2lbs,but I've been pretty much been the same weight for the past month-1.5mos despite me eating better, taking my vitamins, fish oil, CLA, etc.
I have not exercised ,as I haven't had time lately. that's the only thing I really haven't tried. but I was hoping that once switching to Geodon, that I would lose the weight that I gained from Seroquel.
Has anyone else experienced this? What is the best way for me to lose these pounds? I do not want to be fat again ,because it makes me depressed. The majority of the weight is in my stomach/hips.. I am a 29yo male.
thanks all!
-Jason
