I have a friend who was put on a low dose of Seroquel for sleep and anxiety. He is also on xanax. He is recovering from a bypass in his late 30s. He has been losing weight before he started it, but now I don't see him losing as much which worries me. He really needs to lose it for his heart problem.

At first, he seemed fine. Now he is starting to behave a little like he is on an 'anti-psychotic' if you know what I mean. I've seen it before in those that don't need anti-psychotics. He just sorta exists. He walks just so, and natural mood fluctuations are gone. Its sad.
