Answers:
Seroquel!.

It is known to cause weight gain, particularly in the abdomen!. There were lawsuits about it because it makes some people gain so much weight that they get Type 2 diabetes!.

Seroquel also causes cravings for food at night and sweet cravings!. Watch out for this, because you can gain weight by eating at night!.

Lexapro is supposed to be "weight neutral!." Only about 5% of people gain weight on Lexapro!.

MANY people gain weight on Seroquel!. Next to Zyprexa, it is the worst anti-psychotic for causing weight gain!. And its all in the abdomen!. It is very characteristic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

seroquel has done the same to me!. Its hard to put socks/shoes on because my gut has gotten so big!.
