Has anyone fallen victim of Seroquel and weight gain? If so, tell me what you did get it off.

I'm not bipolar; I take seroquel for its sedative side effects. During the time I've been on it I've gained some weight (5-10 lbs or so), but I'm not entirely sure if it's due to the Seroquel. I do know some other people who have gained quite a bit of weight while taking it though. The only way I know to lose the weight again is to stop taking the medication. Same goes for any other medication with a side effect of weight gain. Eating better and exercising may still help to a certain extent, and even if it doesn't it'll make you feel better regardless.
