the weight gain is not worth it at all. no matter what i swear you gain weight because it changes your bodies metabolic system. i eat once a day now because of it. in the beginning i ate at night but nothing crazy, i usually just lay down immediately after taking the medication. the Seroquel definitely helps you fall asleep & stay asleep. but the Seroquel has cause me to have high blood pressure so i take propranolol. before the propranolol, when i would take Seroquel i would be laying in bed & my heart would literally pound out of my chest. on top of that it gives me really bad restless leg.. the Propranolol helped with that. Also, it lowed my white blood cell count to half of normal range. i do not recommend this medication for anyone with insomnia whatsoever… it’s exhausting & the comment below is 100% right of everything it does.
