Will I be OKAY on Seroquel low dose?

I am on 200mg of Zoloft and just put on seroquel 25mg, both paired for my OCD, weird rages/mood swings, general anxiety disorder...and blah blah blah. Anyway, I have been on klonopin for far too long and now have a tolerance for it.. so i was prescribed seroquel to help with my intense intrusive thoughts and general busy mind...anyway, I'm extremely obsessive with my weight, I never gained anything on zoloft and i know most people do, nor did i gain on klonopin...but my friends on seroquel said they only gained a bit because it made them want to eat more. So if i don't change my eating (i don't eat much) and stay healthy, will i be okay?

    Yes, I think that with this medication as with most, it's mind over mood. If you get hungry an hour after taking Seroquel, then just recognize it, and if you must feed yourself, just be mindful of how much you're eating. 25 mg is the absolute lowest dose that Seroquel is made in, as far as I know. I had once been on that low of a dose, but I find that it doesn't help when I'm at my best.
