patpatkimbo Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 How does the weight gain of Seroquel XR compare to that of the immediate release? It's hard to find literature comparing the side effects of the two formulations. I managed to lose weight on Thorazine and I'm wondering how Seroquel XR would be.

Night in Juniper Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) I have taken both for extended periods of time and I did not notice a difference with weight gain. I'm actually on Metformin now though and that probably helps keep any weight gain off (at least for me). With the Seroquel XR, I took and take it with dinner. With the Seroquel IR, I took it about an hour before bedtime. Like I said, I didn't notice a difference. Maybe other opinions can help.

Gearhead Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I haven't noticed a difference either; as far as I can tell, it's related to the overall dose you wind up taking, not the mode in which you take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan77 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have taken both Seroquel IR and currently take Seroquel XR and didn't notice any difference in relation to weight gain. I gained a load of weight on both medications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
