Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Seroquel is known to increase hunger. If the total amount energy taken in as food is greater than the the total energy expenditure, weight gain results. So, in order to control the weight gain that may occur due to seroquel, you have to try and cut down on your food intake on one hand, and on the other you need to increase your workout. There is no shortcut for this. Weight loss pills would not really help. You can try electrical muscle stimulation therapy that is available at many slimming centres.
