I'm not alone !

[Jill-Louise]

Hi everyone, i'm new here as you might have guessed. I've been suffering from depression for quite along time now and have recently been prescribed Quetiapine to be taken along side Sertraline. I have had results from blood tests this week and i have high blood sugar and cholesterol and put on over a stone in 6 weeks. Of course, i was really shocked and now have to adjust my diet accordingly. My partner has done a lot of searching to find out more about this and it does seem like this drug has some serious side effects that i wasn't really told about by my psychiatrist. Has anyone else had these problems ? Sorry to go on a bit for my first post.....:wacko: Hope to hear from any of you guys soon....Jill-Louise
