The first 3 or 2 weeks I lost maybe 5 kg (11 lbs), because I was either nauseous all the time, or because I felt my appetite had disappeared. There would be days I maybe only ate an apple. After that my appetite returned, and I managed to burn another 4 lbs. Altogether, 7 kg loss, whatever that is in pounds, 15 lbs, I don't know.
It seems easier to eat less and/or lose weight when you're off Seroquel. As far as I could tell, it was impossible while on it. My appetite now varies - I actually have times when I don't feel hungry. This never happened while on meds. I have hit a plateau now, and am having difficulty losing the last 7 kg I gained.
Watch out for the skin rash. I had a constant itching after stopping seroquel that maybe lasted a month. I have the scars to prove it. It comes b/c your histamine returns. Health Question & Answer

I was on seroquel for a short time myself. I was already a little overweight at the time, so I didn't notice a significant weight gain at the time. But when I did go off of it, I lost about 10-12 pounds in a matter of weeks. It sounds like you are doing all the right things to lose weight, and for your overall health. Kudos to you and keep up the good work!
